On this here street where I do sit Lives a man we can't forgive His felony was jealousy An impossible personality And if you think it's you then let me know
He wasn't rich, he wasn't poor Though how he longed for so much more At night he dreamed of buccaneers Pirate ships and privateers And if you think it's you then let me know
His window was his favourite seat For watching history repeat Was he cursed or was he blessed In the end well he confessed
And if you think it's you then let me know
This is what he said...
The warning signs Are on my wall There's no feelin' anymore Has it always been like this? Signed and sealed without a kiss Well I know it's there It's just something that I missed
And through the tears of madness Souvenirs of sadness Is all he sees, all he sees
So how do I begin to end this tale? Of a time when all was well And he'd laze on summer days Down by the lake Where the seagulls play What a way To waste his days
Who is to blame? Have I been framed Who is to blame Have I been framed For the death of these days?
