Lyrics
I'll write all of these letters by myself
Feelin' like I could turn into someone else

I don't care, gonna run away
Get a job in the desert and a drunken wife
Flip the coin in the other way
Gonna cash in the check on my double life

I called you from the Roosevelt do you know?
Lyin' with ghosts and Charlie O-o-o-o

Met a strange girl, it was hard for me
Don't need no favours from the man on top
Woke up late in the beating sun
All the memories gone of the big dress up

Watch you walk away down the street
Don't look back

Watch you walk away down the street
Don't look back

Watch you walk away-
Watch you walk away-
Watch you walk away-
Watch you walk away-

I'll walk all of these places on my own
Talking to myself now that the money's gone

Sold my soul in a magazine
Gonna drag me kickin' to the seven-one
Got a bad habit, it's on the screen
Ten days in a room with a loaded gun

Light me up a cigarette, no, no surprise
Slept in your makeup again ay-ay-ay-ay

All forgiven, now we're back again
No we're never ever going to the story, no

‘Cause Time takes over and it falls away
Gonna burn in glory, it's time to go

Watch you walk away down the street
Don't look back
Watch you walk away down the street
Don't look back
