[Verse 1]
GFrom the foot of the bed
GTo the cold CNeapolitan sGky
From the Amback of my Gmind
To the Amfront of this tired Gdisguise
GWhat’s with this moment
GWhat’s with this feeling
GWhat’s with January and the Clocks on the Gdoor
AmHow do I make my Gescape
AmHow do I find what I’m loGoking for
[Verse 2]
GFrom the memory
GOf the walk
GFrom the pyramid of Ccans to the cGall
From the Amtender touch of your Glips
To the sAmtraps slipping off of your Ghips
GWhat’s with this moment
GWhat’s with this feeling
GWhat’s with January and the Clocks on the Gdoor
AmHow do I make my Gescape
AmHow do I find what I’m loGoking for
[Chorus]
DHospitals and Clobby lust
GTruth in all of Emits disgust
AmLove was never Dblind
But I Gwas
DClouded glass and Csurface rust
GVoices I could Emnever trust
AmLove was never Dblind
But I Gwas
