A sleepless night in the city No peace and quiet in the city It's hotter than the water from a boiler in The basement of Hell In this low rent, walk-up, broken-down hotel Counting the cracks on the ceiling Flat on my back, and I'm feeling Lower than the roaches in the tunnels of the one and the nine And the clock says that I'm half past losing my mind Through the tick tock tick, I can hear the faucet drip When the neighbors brawl, I can hear 'em through the wall But I'm waiting, I keep waiting (Chorus) 'Cause I want you I want you back again, I can remember when you and I were one And I want to I wanna change your mind So I'm gonna bide my time, bearing my misery Till you come to me ♪ High noon, same room This is when it gets so suffocating the air sits Heavy, like the weight of my regret for ever Letting you go And it don't matter whether the windows are opened or closed There's a beep, beep beat from the traffic in the street And a bang, bang, bang, like a hammer in my brain As I'm fading, going crazy ♪ (Chorus x2) ♪ Hey, hey, hey Just you wait and see You'll come back to me (x4)
