Apt. 41 Songtext
von Michael Benjamin

I′ve put my heart on a leash
Drag it 'round like a dog
And wander the empty streets
The backyard of this city
The city I don′t belong
But know so well

Sometimes the ghost of my lost love
Comes over for a talk
Asking, "How've you been?
Asking, 'How′ve you been?′"
I finally feel better
I finally feel better


Two empty bottles of whiskey
And a twenty dollar guitar
I've got some books and old records
That I bought back in LA
I let the walls do all the talking
I′ve got nothing left to say
But I finally feel better
I finally feel better

Each city looks the same to me
But they don't feel alike
I′ve gotten used to being a stranger
Even here in my hometown
And I've tried in many ways
But I cannot play the part
But I finally feel better
I finally feel better

I left God in the church
Left the church years ago
Said my last prayer
When my daughter was born
I know I broke my mother′s heart
And my lover's too
But I can't go back to the start
And I don′t want to go back to the start
Never go back
Never go back
I don′t want to go back to the start


Each city looks the same to me
But they don't feel alike
I′ve gotten used to being a stranger
Even here in my hometown
And I've tried in many ways
But I cannot play the part
But I finally feel better
I finally feel better
I finally feel better

I′ve put my heart on a leash
Drag it 'round like a dog
And wander the empty streets
And I finally feel better
I finally feel better
