Standing outside   Looking inside   Through the wall   I stumbled sagely   I predicted my own fall   She pretends   That she can't hear me   When I call   I'm feeling low and...      An hour later   Or maybe it's been three   I break a door down   With a neighbors Christmas tree   I find her in a corner   Choking on her hopes   And misery   She's fading fast      'cos she can't find   Her own way   Heaven knows the way   Heaven knows the way      My alibi says   It was just a social call   I stumbled sagely   I predicted my own fall   The politics of failure   Never seemed to   Bother her at all   She never made a sound      'cos she can't find   Her own way   Heaven knows the way   Heaven knows the way      Standing outside   Looking inside   Through the wall   I stumbled sagely   I predicted my own fall   She pretends   That she can't hear me   When I call   I'm feeling low and...      She can't find her own way   Heaven knows the way   Heaven knows the way
