YOU HAVE A WAY

You have a way, you have it all tied down in a smile or a frown for a while
In a town where everything’s blue but it looks to you like something new

Well good for you I feel exactly like you do
I don’t know what the fuck I’m supposed to do
I’m chasing pigeons like the man I used to know
Rereading letters in manilla envelopes

You have a way, like how my dear friend Walter would say in Berlin back in May
And just the same as in the hallway, I should have been strong enough then to say

”Well I know you and feel exactly like you do
You know I know you, now what’s left for me to do
But sit and spit and brood and wallow in my mood
There is no nighttime quite like when I’m without you”

Home, where I dance alone
I don’t suppose you know
I don’t suppose you know

You have a way, you have it all tied down in a smile or a frown for a while
In a town where everything’s blue but it looks to you like something new
