Throw another dime in me, my friend
And I'll sing a song I know for thee
You don't want me, you can tell me
I'm the bigger man here, oh it's true
You're all pretty now than the last time
But the words aren't coming through
And I'm stranded and I'm starry-eyed
Oh why, oh she wash out of me
There's broken glass all around my feet
Laid my plan so carelessly
What's the story with my old friends
Drunk and lonely to the end
How I love 'em all as the days slip by
And they're all following my lead
Oh, why does the rain fall cold
When I'm stranded and I'm starry-eyed?
