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
