Verse 1 -
Mary, this station is playing every sad song
I remember like we were alive
I heard and sung them all from inside of these walls
In a prison cell, where we spent those nights
And they burned up the diner where I always used to find her
Licking young boys blood from her claws
And I learned about the blues from this kitten I knew
Her hair was raven and her heart was like a tomb
Prechorus-
Guitar 1
My heart's like a wound
Chorus-
I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my first wife
Everybody leaves and I'd expect as much from you
I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my old life
Everybody leaves, so why, why wouldn't you?
Verse 2 -
Mary, I worried and stalled every night of my life
Better safe than making the party
And I never had a good time, I sat my bedside,
With papers and poetry about Estella
Prechorus 2-
Guitar 1
With great expectations, we had the greatest expectations
Chorus-
I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my first wife
Everybody leaves and I'd expect as much from you
I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my whole life
Everybody leaves, so why, why wouldn't you?
Bridge
Chorus-
I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my first wife
Everybody leaves and I'd expect as much from you
I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my whole life
Everybody leaves, so why, why wouldn't you?
