Gaslight Anthem - Great Expectations lyrics

rate me

<br>Mary, this station is playing every sad song. <br>I remember like we were alive. <br>I heard it Sunday morn' from inside of these walls. <br>In a prison cell, where we spent those nights. <br>And they burnt up the diner where I always used to find her. <br>Licking young boys blood from her claws. <br>And I learned about the blues from this kitten I knew. <br>Her hair was rabid and her heart was like a tomb. <br>My heart's like a wound. <br> <br>I saw daylights last night and I dreamed about my first wife. <br>Everybody leaves and I'd expect as much from you. <br>I saw daylights last night and I dreamed about my whole life. <br>Everybody leaves, so why, why wouldn't you? <br> <br>Mary, I worried and stalled every night of my life. <br>Better safe than making the party. <br>And I never had a good time, I sat my bedside, with papers and poetry about Astella. <br>Great expectations, we had the greatest expectations. <br> <br>I saw daylights last night and In a dream about my first wife. <br>Everybody leaves and I'd expect as much from you. <br>I saw daylights last night and I dreamed about my whole life. <br>Everybody leaves, so why, why wouldn't you? <br> <br>It's funny how the night moves. <br>Humming a song from 1962. <br>We were always waiting... always waiting. <br>We were always waiting for something to happen. <br> <br>I saw daylights last night and In a dream about my first wife. <br>Everybody leaves and I'd expect as much from you. <br>I saw daylights last night and I dreamed about my whole life. <br>Everybody leaves, so why, why wouldn't you?<br><!-- stopprint -->
