I just found myself living someone else's life Penthouse in Manhattan West 59th Four blocks from the top of the park I grabbed a bagel, two coffees and the bike and I'm off The sun comes up as I enter uptown on the FDR drive Roosevelt Island on the right hand side Roses in the satin jacket pocket of my suit eau de cologne on the tie I cried too quick I found your wish Don't wash that wine glass too quick Staring like a porcelain doll with a blank face But when you lie in her She's the hollow doll you chase Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah That's what she told me crying from a distance I responded "yeah" in sarcastic resistance But I know what I've done and I know who I've hurt And her knowing makes me have an aversion to my existence She found herself living someone else's life A life that was never meant for her A life that was meant for my new baby girl Life then just seemed always hand in hand You cut mine off and gave yours to another man My past was checkered and her dress was too Just like the cab that she left in with money for the fool How to be cruel is what they taught her in school The 45 plays in a sentimental mood But it doesn't end with a note from Ellington Instead, it ends with a note from you I cried too quick I found your wish Don't wash that wine glass too quick Staring a porcelain doll with a blank face But when you lie in her She's the hollow doll you chase And then I told her with skillful insistence One day I will be apart of her riddance and she though I was joking That's not unusual but this time around I might have to risk it Now a clove pink carnation awaits you on the parsons table Is that Manhattan apartment palatial? Did he ever tell you that this love was fatal? His hands in a witches broom yours in a cats cradle I still want her now I bet you she would ask "what for?" And now I've done the appraisal And I'm afraid she wants you more
