Had to be a quiet afternoon
I was drinking up bifols of yellow frosty moon
Then I saw you in the window as a willow
And I thought,
what a shame
When I split the bone it didn't hurt
When I stoked the fire I'm sure it could've
ended worse
It's the words and scenes in my dreams that
kill me every day
It's just great when everybody's out of town
It's just great when you've got no one but yourself around
It's just great when you're alone and no one picks up the phone
It's just great,
isn't it?
I've learned to do things on my own
*** the streets I used to drive to take you home
I was better off this way But man,
I miss the way your hands always
found mine
All the time
I've learned that love is like a glass
It's so fragile on the outside when you watch
the fluid pass
When it cracks,
it stays
You're a monster,
you hate what you've become Undone
It's just great when you've got no one but yourself
It's just great when she's a * someone else
It's just great when you're the end of
something magic and pretend it wasn't her,
my guy
It's just great when you see her in better
shoes It's just great when you go back to
sleep with nothing left to lose It's
just great when you don't want your life
to change but you are ready to the coin, oh boy
