Jack's Mannequin - Diane, The Skyscraper lyrics

rate me

<BR>

I'm living in a waiting room on the tenth floor <br>

Of a New York City skyscraper<br>

Got the paperwork filled out my friend<br>

Can you tell me how this story ends?<br>

My best girl caught a taxi cab to an uptown bar to meet my band <br>

But I don't have the energy so she plugs my machines back in<br>

And the late night T.V. talks to me about God but God why can't I sleep?<br>

As she plugs my machines back in<br>

But my machines back in now don't cha'<br>

<br>

Diane<br>

(Diane)<br>

I'd by lying if I said this was my plan<br>

(Diane)<br>

We are all in this together<br>

(Diane)<br>

See I'm trying but I just don't understand<br>

(Diane)<br>

Well I can't predict the weather past the storm<br>

(The weather past the storm)<br>

<br>

And there's mornings where I wake up quick <br>

And my head it dreams and my stomach's sick alone<br>

To slowly pull the sun from bed<br>

Below the fifty-ninth street bridge<br>

And I feel like I'm a battle tank <br>

But there's peace for every pound of strength<br>

I'm waiting for the enemy<br>

While she plugs my machines back in<br>

(Back in)<br>

<br>

Diane<br>

(Diane)<br>

I'd be lying if I said this was my plan<br>

(Diane)<br>

We are all in this together<br>

(Diane)<br>

See I'm trying but I just don't understand<br>

(Diane)<br>

Well I can't predict the weather past the storm<br>

(The weather past the storm)<br>

(The weather past the storm)<br>

(The weather past the storm)<br>

(The weather past the storm)<br>

(The weather past the storm)<br>

(The weather past the storm)<br>

<br>

I'm living in a waiting room on the tenth floor <br>

Of a New York City skyscraper<br>

Got the paperwork filled out my friend<br>

<BR><BR>
