The windowpanes, slow-movin trains
are watchin' time tick slowly by.
I don't ask why, I don't ask why,

I don't ask why, I don't ask why.

I made a cat out of wasps and newspaper.
I'll make a note about rummagin' later.
Agents of despair are sitting in their under--
Where have you been?--It is way past your bedtime.

I don't wanna walk away to a place I don't wanna stay...
I don't wanna walk away to a place I don't wanna stay... (Stay...)
