closed down the house now on this sad affair
very last step of a thousand steps there
and will we every reach the sky now i won´t care
he called me liar when i told him i loved him
and i thought it was plain as the sky above him
he called me a liar
yeah, he called me a liar

and i got these boxes piled up on the lawn
and i say to myself in a little while i´ll be gone
and he will just turn back into the house and go on
and my car will drive away and turn into a song

he got the lampshade, i got the cat.
strange sensation, coming down to that
strange sensation, coming down to that...baby
he´s got the four walls and i´ve got the sky of gray
he said he´d like to get out of harm´s way
ooooohhh
get out, baby

and i got these boxes piled up on the lawn
and i say to myself in a little while i´ll be gone
and he will just turn back into the house and go on
and my car will drive away and turn into a song
he wants me to understand and he wants me to say
how i understand we´d be better off this way
wants me to pack my things and he wants me to go
but he sure does care about me, oh he wants me to know

i got these boxes piled up on the lawn
and i say to myself in a little while i´ll be gone
and he will just turn back into the house and go on
and my car will drive away and turn into a song
