From Her to Eternity
Ah wanna tell ya 'bout a girl
You know, she lives in room 29
Why... why... that's the one right up top a mine
Ah start to cry, ah start to cry
O ah hear her walkin'
Walkin' barefoot cross the floor-boards
All thru this lonesome night
Ah hear her crying too.
Hot-tears come splashin on down
Leaking thru the cracks,
Down upon my face, ah catch'em in my mouth!
Ah catch'em in my mouth!
Ah catch'em in my mouth!
Walk'n'cry walk'n'cry-y!!!
From her to eternity!
From her to eternity!
From her to eternity!
Ah read her diary on her sheets
Scrutinizin' every lil bit of dirt
Tore out a page'n'stufft it inside my shirt
Fled outa the window,
And shinning it down the vine
Outa her night-mare, and back into mine
Mine! o mine!
From her to eternity!
From her to eternity!
From her to eternity!
Cry! cry! cry!
She's wearing them bloo-stockens, ah bet!
And standin' like this with my ear to the ceiling
Listen, ah know it must sound absurd
But ah can hear the most melancholy sound
Ah ever heard!
Walk'n'cry! kneel'n'cry-y!
From her to eternity!
From her to eternity!
O tell me why? o tell me why?
Oh why? why? why?
O tell me why and don't tell me a lie!
Why the ceiling still shakes? shakes! shakes! shakes!
Why the fixtures turn to serpents and snakes?
This desire to possess her is a wound
And it's naggin at me like a shrew
But, ah know, that to possess her
Is, therefore, not to desire her.
O o o then ya know, that lil girl would just have to go!
Go! go-o-o! from her to eternity!
From her to eternity! [repeat]
