Changed my name to "promise you", yeah
Dying inside 'cause I want to, yeah
Didn't I say I wanted to, yeah?
Honey, I've changed before you, yeah
Twenty-eight years are coming to end
The rain chased me down the gully again
Now I'm higher than anyone here
And dirt ain't nothing on me, yeah
B-b-b-baby, I swear it, I wanted to call
But on my way around, I happened to fall
She's a MUA at Carnegie hall
In her vanity mirror, we're losing it all
Well we shacked up swift, abandonment way
Catch the sweet rain inside a beret
I'm in it, I'm reflecting all of the day
And I will fade in the night, yeah
Will you apologize
For the remainder of your life?
Do you accept the charges?
I promise you, I'll promise to, yeah
Well now she curls up with his favorite son
He's the ugliest man in heaven for one
As long as there's nobody fooling me there
Then dirt ain't nothing on me, yeah, yeah
They threw me out like I was a wedding bouquet
Now I can't quite remember what I had to say
'Til I get higher than everyone here
And I will fade in the night, yeah
In the charmless morning
I promise to be gone
I almost felt the feeling
That I wanted to, I wanted to, yeah, ah
You thought I was here
But I am farther than the sun, the sun
Ah, silent as the feeling
That I've promised you, I promise you, yeah
Well, I changed my name to "promise you", yeah
It's easier than making apologies, yeah
Now I'm higher than anyone, yeah
And dirt ain't nothing on me, yeah
