Great Expectations The Gaslight Anthem

[Verse 1]
Mary, this station is playing every sad song
I remember like we were alive
Yeah, I heard and sung them all from inside of these walls
In a prison cell, where we spent those nights
And they burnt up the diner where I always used to find her
Licking young boys' blood from her claws
And I learned about the blues from this kitten that I knew
Her hair was raven and her heart was like a tomb
My heart is like a wound

[Chorus]
And I saw taillights last night in a dream about my first wife
Everybody leaves and I'd expect as much from you
I saw taillights last night in a dream about my old life
Everybody leaves, so why, why wouldn't you?

[Verse 2]
Mary, I worried and stalled every night of my life
Better safe than making the party
And I never had a good time, I sat by my bedside
With papers and poetry about Estella
With great expectations
We had the greatest expectations

[Chorus]
And I saw taillights last night in a dream about my first wife
Everybody leaves and I'd expect as much from you
I saw taillights last night in a dream about my old life
Everybody leaves, so why, why wouldn't you?
