Changed my name to "promise you", yeah
Dying inside 'cause I want to, yeah
Didn't I say I wanted to? Yeah
Honey I'd changed before you, yeah
28 years are coming to end
The rain chased me down the gully again
Now I'm higher than anyone here
And dirt ain't nothing on me, yeah
But-but-but baby I swear it, I wanted to call
But on my way 'round I happened to fall
She's a MUA at Carnegie Hall
In her vanity mirror, we're losing it all
Well, we shacked up swift abandonment way
Catch sweet rain inside a beret
In it I'm reflecting all of the day
And I will fade in the night, yeah
Will you apologise
For the remainder of your life?
Do you accept the charges?
I promise you, I'll promise to, yeah
Well, now she curls up with his favourite son
He's the ugliest man in heaven for one
As long as there's nobody fooling me there
Then there ain't nothing on me, yeah, yeah
They threw me out like I was a wedding bouquet
Now I can't quite remember what I had to say
Till I get higher than anyone here
And I will fade in the night, yeah
In the charmless morning
I promise to be gone
I almost felt the feeling
That I wanted to
I wanted to, yeah
Ah
You thought I was here
But I'm further than the sun, sun
Ah
Silent as the feeling
That I've promised you, I promise you
Yeah
Well, I changed my name to "promise you", yeah
It's easier than me making apologies, yeah
Now I'm higher than anyone here
And dirt ain't nothing on me, yeah
