Strange Beds

It shouldn't be me: the fool at the window
It shouldn't be me: alone on the floor
It couldn't be her ascending the staircase
I've had this feelin' before (2x)

It couldn't be me: the one that she wanted
It shouldn't be me: the one that she needs
I'm all alone in this dark closet
I've slept in strange beds before (2x)

I'm a sketch of a man, a pattern of raindrops
I'm the song that these walls are trying to sing
My love stretches out 'cross telephone cables
I've had this feelin' before (2x)

This darkness, I have tried to outrun it
This emptiness, I am dying to kill
I'm all alone in this dark closet
I've slept in strange beds before (2x)
