I just earned a dollar that made my day complete
My shadow leads me blindly down an old forgotten street
Up a flight of creaking stairs, down a dingy hall
I step into my lonely room to watch the plaster fall
Watching plaster fall from a ceiling stained in grey
Without your arms to hold me
I know I'll fall that way
If my weakness grows much stronger
I won't even need a shove
Please don't let them ride my future
In a loser's book of love
Think I'll take this mirror
And I'll take this mirror
And throw it out the door
If that's the best it can do for me
I just won't look no more
That bearded face, that glass of wine
That isn't me at all
Cause I've got better things to do
Than watching plaster fall
Watching plaster fall from a ceiling stained in grey
Without your arms to hold me
I know I'll fall that way
If my weakness grows much stronger
I won't even need a shove
Please don't let them ride my future
In a loser's book of love
