Katie

Well the sidewalks are lonely when they’re under her feet
As she’s sliding away back to her living room suite, oh Katie
She’s a walk in the park, a suburban threat
And every afternoon is a Sunday dress, oh Katie
She gets invited to the party, but she’ll always decline
Cause she’s fine by herself with a bottle of wine, oh Katie
You never see her around, she never pick up the phone
She’s the type of girl who always like being alone, oh Katie
With a switchblade grin and a throwback home
Her world is a personal variety show
Well her mind is brittle and her soul is clean
And it breaks my heart that she’ll never be with me
She’s a beautiful novel, a paranoid sin
A whiskey a water, a tonic and gin, oh Katie
She’s a minor fifth on a monotone day
And if you get too close she try to push you away, oh Katie
With a switchblade grin and a throwback home
Her world is a personal variety show
Well her mind is brittle and her soul is clean
And it breaks my heart that she’ll never be with me
And it breaks my heart that she’ll never be with me
(Well her mind is brittle and her soul is clean)
And it breaks my heart that she’ll never be with me
She lights up a smoke, she pulls up a chair
She’s taking a drag, she’s twirling her hair, oh Katie
It’s the moral of the story that we just felt
She’s hot as sin but it’s worth the melt, oh Katie
With a switchblade grin and a throwback home
Her world is a personal variety show
Well her mind is brittle and her soul is clean
And it breaks my heart that she’ll never be with me
(Well her mind is brittle and her soul is clean)
And it breaks my heart that she’ll never be with me
(The sidewalks are lonely when they’re under her feet)
(And she’s sliding away back to her living room suite)
And it breaks my heart that she’ll never be with me
(She's a beautiful novel, a paranoid sin)
(A whiskey a water, a tonic and gin)
(Well her mind is brittle and her soul is clean)
And it breaks my heart that she’ll never be with me
