Lyrics

[00:02.00] The Gaslight Anthem - Great Expectations
[00:04.00]
[00:10.01] Mary, this station is playing every sad song.
[00:14.22] I remember like we were alive.
[00:17.85] I heard and sung them all from inside of these walls.
[00:21.82] In a prison cell, where we spent those nights.
[00:25.57] And they burnt up the diner where I always used to find her.
[00:29.56] Licking young boys blood from her claws.
[00:32.64] And I learned about the blues from this kitten I knew.
[00:36.85] Her hair was raven and her heart was like a tomb.
[00:41.05] My heart's like a wound.
[00:44.65] I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my first wife.
[00:49.27] Everybody leaves and I'd expect as much from you.
[00:52.91] I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my old life.
[00:56.66] Everybody leaves, so why, why wouldn't you?
[01:02.54]
[01:04.36] Mary, I worried and stalled every night of my life.
[01:07.78] Better safe than making the party.
[01:12.00] And I never had a good time, I sat my bedside,
[01:15.73] with papers and poetry about Estella.
[01:19.43] With great expectations,
[01:23.76] we had the greatest expectations.
[01:27.53] I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my first wife.
[01:31.55] Everybody leaves and I'd expect as much from you.
[01:35.43] I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my old life.
[01:39.07] Everybody leaves, so why, why wouldn't you?
[01:45.24]
[01:46.68] It's funny how the night moves.
[01:50.54] Humming a song from 1962.
[01:58.21] We were always waiting...always waiting.
[02:06.50] We were always waiting for something to happen.
[02:12.83]
[02:13.88] I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my first wife.
[02:17.71] Everybody leaves and I'd expect as much from you.
[02:21.71] I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my old life.
[02:25.54] Everybody leaves, so why, why wouldn't you?
[02:31.91]
