So I talked to you for an hour In the bar of a small town hotel You asked me what I was thinking I was thinking of a padded cell With a black and white T.V. To stop us from getting lonely
I could not escape A plea from the heart You know what it means to me She said don't walk away I'm down on my knees So please don't be mean to me No, I could not escape A plea from the heart Mysterious sympathy I couldn't wait for a chance To walk out the door
You know what it means to me
I saw you lying in the arms of a poet
I heard him tell you t...tantalizing lies (about me)
Well whad'd'ya know, whad'd'ya know
I could not escape You're down on the floor You know what it means to me I couldn't wait for a chance To walk out the door Mean ... You know what it means In the arms of a poet You know what it means
