I can see right through doors
Hiding in places most ignore
I hear your dress drop down to the floor
I can see your heart pulse
Your eyes flutter like a rocking horse
If my blood’s racing fast you’re the source
I’ve been looking for the longest time for you
There is something that I know I shouldn’t do
My resistance is a fragile waning force
Still this weary night must run its course
I’m always listening right outside
I smoke my smokes and bide my time
The sound of you there sleeping so sublime
I put out my cigarette
Sneak inside and hold my breath
Lay my weary head upon your breast
I’ve been looking for the longest time for you
There is something that I know I have to do
My resistance is a fragile waning force
Still this weary night must run its course
Outside the flag is flapping wildly
Against the pole a distant lovely chiming
They say America is dying
But I can feel her growing deep inside me
As you expire here beside me
I was looking for the longest time for you
There was something that I knew I had to do
My resistance is a fragile waning force
Now this weary night has run its course
