Ben Folds - Picture Window

We checked into the hospital New Year's Eve

Nothing to be done about that

Rainbows, daffodils, she's not na?ve

Symbolism's all crap

There's a big picture window in the room on the ward

With a view over Parliament Hill

But the view offers more joy than they can afford

When there's this much pain to kill

You know what hope is

Hope is a bastard

Hope is a liar, a cheat and a tease

Hope comes near you, kick its backside

Got no place in days like these

The dust, the darkness around; there's still color

As the fireworks streak the sky

And their window gives them the prettiest picture

Their useless luck makes her want to cry

Then it turns midnight

The shitty whole year's spent

Another mom deserves some sparkling wine

And she nearly gives into the moment

But he'll still be sick in two-thousand and nine

You know what hope is

Hope is a bastard

Hope is a liar, a cheat and a tease

Hope comes near you, kick its backside

Got no place in days like these

And just as she's thinking

Of pulling the blind down

A rocket bursts in front of her eyes

The city lit up like a crown over London

And she tries and fails to stop

Spirits rise

You know what hope is

Hope is a bastard

Hope is a liar, a cheat and a tease

Hope comes near you, kick its backside

Got no place in days like these

You know what hope is

Hope is a bastard

Hope is a liar, a cheat and a tease

Hope comes near you, kick its backside

Got no place in days like these
