Got the notice this morning, Left me numb You wanna shake your mind up I want a change of scene My face was a thousand Shades of red And I'll paint me a new backdrop So we all blend in I can still feel desire As the cornerstone caves in My stomach was reeling (My stomach was reeling) To the maritime We'll look for peace of mind in the dark Horizontal lines And I saw that your finger (Your fingers were bleeding) Was bleeding dry (Coulda been more kind) And I could have been a bit more kind To your malady I can still be reminded not to take so thoughtlessly Because I'm stuck on the rainy side of Elsinore, Picking fights and talking back And I just wanna hold you tight And listen long All the strength of your quiet side Out in the stairwell three flights down I can hear the echo of the sound of water My will breaking down Well I missed it the first time, Like the willing blind Yeah I had my eyes glued shut, My fist balled up tight But I'm willing to open Turn my song around, yeah Time is getting wise to my ways Maybe you'll understand I'm stuck on the rainy side of Elsinore, Picking fights and talking back And I just wanna hold you tight And listen long All the strength of your quiet side I'm stuck on the rainy side
