Sitting here in this dirty bar
Watching the trash go by
She's selling cigarettes and lollipops
[00:53.82]She's got a sparkle in her black eye[00:59.15]She says "Maybe my time will come"
[00:53.82]She's got a sparkle in her black eye[00:59.15]She says "Maybe my time will come"
[01:05.38]Maybe my time will come[01:20.70]He said he'd sweep her off her feet
[01:05.38]Maybe my time will come[01:20.70]He said he'd sweep her off her feet
Defying all of gravity
Well she'd move any bright city
[01:35.22]To fill this gaping cavity... she says[01:40.67]I'm a slave in this empty life
[01:35.22]To fill this gaping cavity... she says[01:40.67]I'm a slave in this empty life
[01:45.68]Diggin' my grave I'm his newspaper wife[02:01.47]Well he must have a very small broom
[01:45.68]Diggin' my grave I'm his newspaper wife[02:01.47]Well he must have a very small broom
As she sits in this very large room
Maybe it's just a piece of straw
[02:15.12]She says why am I so in awe?[03:23.65][02:20.94]I'm a slave to this empty life
[02:15.12]She says why am I so in awe?[03:23.65][02:20.94]I'm a slave to this empty life
Diggin' my grave I'm his newspaper wife
I'm ashamed of this meaningless life
[03:38.41][02:35.77]Diggin' my grave I'm his newspaper wife[03:03.65]She sits across from him
[03:38.41][02:35.77]Diggin' my grave I'm his newspaper wife[03:03.65]She sits across from him
Drinking her coffee
His face is buried in other people's lives, she says
"I wonder if he's gonna read forever
[03:17.63]I'm his newspaper wife[03:46.06]Repeat Chorus
[02:15.12]She says why am I so in awe?[03:23.65][02:20.94]I'm a slave to this empty life
Diggin' my grave I'm his newspaper wife
I'm ashamed of this meaningless life
[03:38.41][02:35.77]Diggin' my grave I'm his newspaper wife[03:03.65]She sits across from him
[03:17.63]I'm his newspaper wife[03:46.06]Repeat Chorus
