behind that door
where she played and hung around

smokin’ up

to something but I couldn’t tell you what
Don’t bother dropping that name by me
don’t bother dropping nothing but the conversation

or please take your leave
I let it kill me now I let it be
But she’s in here

and her shadow left a stain
and I can’t get it up
she left a feeling but I couldn’t tell you what
Don’t let her throw her magic at you
Don’t let her can’t let her be your meditation
don’t pray too long
Keep one open or she’s good as gone
Did it hit where she aimed or where it hurt?
Did they wipe off that smile with dollar bills?
If you’re looking for some life she left behind
you’d be better off looking at mine
She lived here
behind that door
where she prayed like on hallowed ground
saving up for something
but she never told me what
Don’t bother dropping that name no more
don’t bother dropping nothing but the conversation

or please there’s the door
I let it beat me now I know the score
Did she blow your mind
Did she make it on time
Did she blow your mind
Did she make it on time
She lived here

Abelene, the day is done
war was fought
war was won
I believe that
you believe that
We are not the only ones
Abelene, the truth is clear
we spend our time in love and fear
And I believe it
you believe it
and we are not the only ones
Do you recognize your life
looking through the eyes
of your angry youth and sordid past?
but Abelene, there is a difference
between the face that’s in your mirror
and the one that’s on the
carbon dated photographs
Abelene, your light still shines
purest reason, and plainest rhyme
And I believe it
and you can see it
and we are not the only ones
Abelene, the day is done
the war was fought
the war was won
And I believe it
And you believe it
And we are not the only ones
I believe it
you believe it
We are not the only ones
We are not the only ones
