Dead Letter Chorus

Everyone talks so fast and walks so slow

Suddenly in a town I don't know

Last stop and strangers drink

They're lettin' me into the midnight show and

Two kids sweat

As he's trying to get his lips to her neck

Is it all up to him?

It's a concession film

But what do you do?

Where have I been lately?

Dirty water interrupted by

A bridge that's not too sore on the eye

Guy in the better-looking pants

Is ruining the other's night and

Will he hurt?

As the air conditioning dries out his shirt

Is it all up to him?

It's a concession film

But what do you do?

Where have I been lately?

As if nothing I said now is new

As if you've never heard anything true

But we will try 'til the next time or the last time

Everyone talks so fast and walks so slow

Suddenly in a town they don't know

Hours come and minutes fly

The fifteenth-story window high and

Two kids sweep

As he's trying to stare the shame to his feet

'Cause you owe it to him

It's a concession film

But what do you do?

Where have I been lately?

As if nothing I said now is new

As if you've never heard anything true

But we will try

'Til the next time, or the last time
