Song Lyrics

Got me a date, but often is a word i seldom use
And i can t stop coughing, long enough to tell you all of the news
in the house of mirrors
I d like to tell you, and i can t stop coughing
That i ll see you more often, how d ya like to die
gonna be there at a quarter to nine

gonna be there at a quarter to nine
And i can t stop coughing, and i can t stop coughing, in the house of mirrors
going back home
Felt like snow, with nobody around to close your eyes, long enough to tell you all of the news
Felt like snow, long enough to tell you all of the news
got me a date

In the house of mirrors, i d like to tell you Word, often is a word i seldom use
Cause i might not get the chance again, cause i might not get the chance again
But often is a word i seldom use, with the ten o clock special
going down to the greyhound station
and i can t stop coughing
Long enough to tell you all of the news, you lie awake till way past when Word, that i ll see you more often

often is a word i seldom use
and i can t stop coughing
how d ya like to die
felt like snow
Going back home, i d like to tell you
Going down to the greyhound station, felt like snow Word, how d ya like to die

Going down to the greyhound station, i know that you re lonely
i know that you re sad
With the ten o clock special, watching me laughing, felt like snow
i want you to know
I m cold and i m tired, where did the weekend go
with nobody around to close your eyes

i d like to tell you
you must think my life s a circus
i d like to tell you
That i ll see you more often, i know that you re sad, going back home
In the house of mirrors, that i m leaving you only Use, in the house of mirrors
I d like to tell you, i want you to know John, i want you to know

I know that you re lonely, felt like snow
how d ya like to die
And slapping my thighs, got me a date
I know that you re sad, but often is a word i seldom use Use, i d like to tell you
Where did the weekend go, i d like to tell you, where did the weekend go
Where did the weekend go, long enough to tell you all of the news, i know that you re lonely

and i can t stop coughing
but often is a word i seldom use
going back home
i m cold and i m tired
