A strange union the other day It's a dead Russian, the papers say But it would be nice if they realized That she thought 'he is mine' This town has got you down and I know I was helping you out While your hope died under northern skies and it shows I was helping you to realize The reason why, it was no surprise No way The act will pass by no-one And I'm sad to say it's not different today Be comforted by we share the same skies And for once pay no mind I have decided it's best that you know I'm still thinking about Old lies as north-west skies grow cold No point in denying Anxiety was my favorite feeling after jealousy Yeah, I'll concede That I could not be as nervous as I was I could not, no way
