He writes as he tilts his head to catch the whispering, up with the hiss of tape recorders But there ain't nobody there Oh no, there ain't nobody there Then he goes out to the shops that line up outside his house He'll always pause at his reflection but there ain't nobody there Oh no, there ain't nobody there But he's got friends behind the glass "How much you want for the girl in the window I'll give you twice whatever you think she's worth I'll give you all that and more to see her cured"
He has and argument with his lover She'd slipped poisonous snakes into his supper every night since they'd first met though she pretends that she forgets Now he puts his collar up, and goes back out to the shops to settle a bet with his supplier as his lover wakes up wet well secured and coloured in Now she's safely pressed underneath the glass Oh yeah, she's safely pressed underneath the glass "How much you want for the girl in the window? I'll give you twice whatever you think she's worth I'll give you all that and more to see her cured."
