Generate meaning
1
Ah wanna tell ya 'bout a girl
2
You kno, she lives in Apt. 29
3
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 thru this lonesome night
8
And ah hear her crying too.
9
Hot-tears come splashin on down
10
Leaking thru the cracks,
11
Down upon my face, ah catch'em in my mouth!
12
Walk''cry Walk''cry-y!!!
13
From her to eternity!
14
From her to eternity!
15
From her to eternity!
16
Ah read her diary on her sheets
17
Scrutinizin every lil piece of dirt
18
Tore out a page''stufft it inside my shirt
19
Fled outa the window,
20
And shinning it down the vine
21
Outa her night-mare, and back into mine
22
Mine! O Mine!
23
From her to eternity!
24
From her to eternity!
25
From her to eternity!
26
Cry! Cry! Cry!
27
She's wearing them bloo-stockens, ah bet!
28
And standin like this with my ear to the ceiling
29
Listen ah kno it must sound absurd
30
But ah can hear the most melancholy sound
31
Ah ever heard!
32
Walk''cry! Kneel''cry-y!
33
From her to eternity!
34
From her to eternity!
35
O tell me why? Why? Why?
36
Why the ceiling still shakes?
37
Why the fixtures turn to serpants snakes?
38
This desire to possess her is a wound
39
And it's naggin at me like a shrew
40
But, ah kno, that to possess her
41
Is, therefore, not to desire her.
42
O o o then ya kno, that lil girl would just have to go!
43
Go! Go-o-o! From her to eternity!
