Waltz #2 (XO) Lyrics

[00:37.52] First the mic then a half cigarette
[00:42.23] Singing 'Cathy's Clown'
[00:47.11] That's the man she's married to now
[00:53.74] That's the girl that he takes around town
[00:58.38] She appears composed, so she is, I suppose
[01:04.30] Who can really tell?
[01:08.98] She shows no emotion at all
[01:15.09] Stares into space like a dead china doll
[01:21.55] I'm never gonna know you now
[01:25.84] But I'm gonna love you anyhow
[01:30.29]
[01:32.33]
[01:45.59] Now she's done and they're calling someone
[01:50.44] Such a familiar name
[01:55.21] I'm so glad that my memory's remote
[02:01.09] Cause I'm doing just fine hour to hour, note to note
[02:07.65] Here it is, the revenge to the tune
[02:12.32] "You're no good
[02:17.12] You're no good you're no good you're no good"
[02:23.65] Can't you tell that it's well understood
[02:29.78] I'm never gonna know you now
[02:33.94] But I'm gonna love you anyhow
[02:40.61]
[02:49.28] I'm here today and expected to stay on and on and on
[02:59.94] I'm tired
[03:02.74] I'm tired
[03:09.09] Looking out on the substitute scene
[03:13.69] Still going strong
[03:18.55] XO, Mom
[03:25.04] It's ok, it's alright, nothing's wrong
[03:30.61] Tell Mr. Man with impossible plans to just leave me alone
[03:40.33] In the place where I make no mistakes
[03:46.96] In the place where I have what it takes
[03:52.95] I'm never gonna know you now
[03:57.05] But I'm gonna love you anyhow
[04:02.40] I'm never gonna know you now
[04:06.46] But I'm gonna love you anyhow
[04:11.90] I'm never gonna know you now
[04:16.09] But I'm gonna love you anyhow
[04:21.09]
