Generate meaning
1
Ah want to tell ya 'bout a girl
2
You know, she lives in room 29
3
Why, why, that's the one right up top a mine
4
Ah start to cry, Ah start to cry
5
O Ah hear her walkin'
6
Walkin' barefoot cross the floor-boards
7
All through this lonesome night
8
Ah hear her crying too.
9
Hot-tears come splashin on down
10
Leaking through the cracks,
11
Down upon my face, Ah catch'em in my mouth!
12
Ah catch'em in my mouth!
13
Ah catch'em in my mouth!
14
Walk''cry Walk''cry-why!
15
From her to eternity!
16
From her to eternity!
17
From her to eternity!
18
Ah read her diary on her sheets
19
Scrutinizin' every lil bit of dirt
20
Tore out a page''stufft it inside my shirt
21
Fled out of the window,
22
And shinning it down the vine
23
Out of her night-mare, and back into mine
24
Mine! O Mine!
25
From her to eternity!
26
From her to eternity!
27
From her to eternity!
28
Cry! Cry! CRY!
29
She's wearing them bloo-stockens, ah bet!
30
And standin' like this with my ear to the ceiling
31
Listen, Ah know it must sound absurd
32
But Ah can hear the most melancholy sound
33
Ah ever heard!
34
Walk''cry! Kneel''cry-why!
35
From her to eternity!
36
From her to eternity!
37
O tell me why? O tell me why?
38
Oh Why? Why? Why?
39
O tell me why and don't tell me a lie!
40
Why the ceiling still shakes? Shakes! Shakes! Shakes!
41
Why the fixtures turn to serpents and snakes?
42
This desire to possess her is a wound
43
And its nagging at me like a shrew
44
But, Ah know, that to possess her
45
Is, therefore, not to desire her.
46
O o o then ya know, that lil girl would just have to go!
47
Go! Go-o-o! From her to eternity!
48
From her to eternity! [Repeats]
