You sit at the desk To lose your life in a letter But the words don't seem to come and you know that they're(?) better and it's all so strange Pictures lose their frame And I'll bet you never guessed There was so much pain So much pain Until the haggard ex-lover of a long-time loser Stands rejectedly by the door Doesn't Lenny live here anymore?

The moon, she shines too soon and simply sadly You loved your love so much that you'd strangle her madly And it's all so slow Time has ceased to flow And the whistling whore knows something you don't know And the haggard ex-lover of a long-time loser Stands rejectedly by the door Doesn't Lenny live here anymore? Are you sure?

Are you sure?
The fat official smiles at the pass on the border And the hungry broom makes sure that the room is in order You pull the shade All the beds are made As your lips caress the razor of the blade Of the blade And the haggard ex-lover of a long-time loser Stands rejectedly by the door Doesn't Lenny live here anymore? Are you sure?
The soul of the sun shines just outsde of the winter The shoulders charged, the boards of the barricade is splintered Now at last alone The flashlight is shown Hello inside is there anybody home? Anybody home? It's the haggard ex-lover of a long-time loser Standing rejectedly by the door Doesn't Lenny live here anymore? Are you sure? Are you sure? Are you sure?
