Oh what a shame,
I saw him lying on the floor from the elevator

Half in the rain,
His head was cracked, he was leaking like a radiator

I asked his name,
He was weak. started speaking but he died soon later

That's all I'm saying
That's all I know like I told the investigator

Down in the dark,
A single light set the scene for the interrogation

The room was hot,
I choked on smoke as the pigs slung their accusations

Tearing apart
All I told them as though I was the perpetrator

They've got me wrong
I just arrived in time to hear the last thing that he
Said

Chorus:
"I'd like to trade it all
for just ten minutes with my doll
We fought the last we spoke
And though I'd rather say goodbye
Please just tell her when I died
I was sorry for all I broke"

They let me go,
They said go home but they warned that they would call me later

I walked alone,
past the stains on the floor to the elevator

Up on my floor,
I felt upon me the eyes of all my neighbors

Who were unsure,
Everyone wanted to know what it was the stranger

Said

Chorus

Hung up the phone,
In the morning I would have to sign some papers

Best get it done,
I'm gonna have to deal with it sooner or later.

Try getting stoned,
Memory of the evening starts evaporating

It ain't all gone
Yeah my mind keeps rewinding to the last thing that he said

Chorus x3
