lyrics

Hang it all.
Hang it in view of everyone.

Aired to outed.
I’ll be tearing down once a blue room.
I’ll be gettin’ out ‘round your second marriage,
be getting off where the leaves blow by the buffet line.

Caught a mistake, in someone else’s name.
I swear.

Aired to outed.
Countdown to what too?

In the cold New York was changing.
Outside, a hotel widow.
The cold, New York was changing.
Outside, a hotel widow.

We’re dyin’ to know.
How you gonna milk your way outta this one?
How ya gonna stay several steps out the way of running?

We’re silence at a lip reading.
How ya gonna convert a retired nun?

In the cold New York was changing.
Outside, a hotel widow.
The cold, New York was changing.
Outside, a hotel widow.
Cold New York, changing, outside.
Cold New York changing outside.

I never got to Grenada,
but I saw a righteous picture in space.
Cancel it all.

I got gentle plans and I’m comin’ to take you.
You got shady friends, they ain’t comin’ to make you whole.

Cold New York… changing…
Outside, a hotel widow.
In the cold New York was changing.
Outside of a…
Cold New York… changing…
Outside of a…
Cold New York… changing…
Outside a hotel window.

Hang it all.
Hang it in view of everyone.
Omerta stakes.
Microwaved.
Goddamn it.
