White Curtains Songtext
von Chris King & The Gutterballs

Alone in my room
With the lights turned down low
Watch a mosquito eater feed
As you walk through the door

My tongue it was twisted
And I rolled on my back
Caught in a living dream
A midnight attack

It′s not the same city
That you left
And your old dog still waits for you on the step
Just imaginary friends
One that I can't forget

Light through white curtains
And soft through the day

Though my vision blurs
One thing′s for sure
You've been on your way


This old house just listens
And the bowl's long been dry
I′m making my coffin down
Way deep in your eyes

Life goes by before you blink
Starin′ too close you'll go blind
And you won′t last too long without any sleep
Take it from me: I've tried

It′s not the same city
That you left
And your old dog still waits for you on the step
Just imaginary friends
One that I can't forget

I don′t want to live
In a world without you

Cus this city's stained with memories
That took years to accrue
Guess we'll both go on drifting
Down two separate streams
Maybe the river will wind you
Someday back to me

Alone in my room
With the lights turned down low


How happy life would be
If you walked through the door
