Standing outside
Looking inside
Through the wall
I stumbled sagely
I predicted my own fall
She pretends
That she can't hear me
When I call
I'm feeling low and...
An hour later
Or maybe it's been three
I break a door down
With a neighbors Christmas tree
I find her in a corner
Choking on her hopes
And misery
She's fading fast
'cos she can't find
Her own way
Heaven knows the way
Heaven knows the way
My alibi says
It was just a social call
I stumbled sagely
I predicted my own fall
The politics of failure
Never seemed to
Bother her at all
She never made a sound
'cos she can't find
Her own way
Heaven knows the way
Heaven knows the way
Standing outside
Looking inside
Through the wall
I stumbled sagely
I predicted my own fall
She pretends
That she can't hear me
When I call
I'm feeling low and...
She can't find her own way
Heaven knows the way
Heaven knows the way
