When I went to see you I was shocked by the condition of your place
There was an absence of affect and a look of incomprehension on your face
Lucky you, you got to keep your apartment at a decent price
But the sink and tub’s corroded and the building isn’t kept up nice
Outside your apartment, eight floors high
There was absolutely nothing going on in the sky
Outside your window, eight floors high
There was absolutely nothing going on in the sky
Not even a bird
Last time I saw you I was shocked by the way you shopped at your corner store
You’re eating soup out of a can now, with a blanket, sitting cross-legged on your floor
And you’ll keep that rotten dump of yours cause the rent is low and you’re high
And you’ll keep that rotten dump until the miserable day you die
And who’ll care?
You say you can’t read a book, but you like to look out your window
You’re eight floors high, but there ain’t nothing going on in the sky
You look down on everybody, but all you want to do is die
And you keep that trashed apartment cause you’re high and the rent is low
And if you ever had to leave it you’d have no place to go
No place to go…
