I can still make out the chalk lines
in the corner lot
you swore you erased them
with four long winters
and a garden hose that spanned five blocks
but you can still get into those rooms
where even the heatervents don`t blow
and nobody knows the lock combinations
cause that`s a place nobody even bothers to go
and now you`re staggering down the alleyway
and now you`re halfway up the fire escape
and the only thing that ever keeps you awake
is that one way ticket home
I keep trying to get close to the mystery
and I walk that way sometimes in my dreams
where we dance on checkerboard masonry
my dress is ripping at the seams
and you say you`ve got my fortune
stuffed in your vest pocket
from chinese food two hours ago
and I dare break out the jack knife
and tear open that silk pocket
instead of saying is that so
ah but this was just a sweet dream
with my cheek pressed against yours
this was a game of our feet
played out on checkerboard floors
and I guess that I`ve won.
You insist on playing that piano
with the four broken keys
and I am scrubbing down the hardwood
down on my knees
we`ve peeled the paint off the windows
and let the light climb in
we put christmas lights on the fire escape
i can see them glowin on your skin
and now I am
halfway out the window and
you`ve got your ticket home
I`m halfway out the window
I guess I should have known,
but how could I have known
I am halfway out the window. Send " The Fire Escape" Ringtone to your Cell
