window on the world

a broken promise i kept too long, a greasy shade and a curtain drawn, a broken glass and a heart gone wrong, that's my window on the world, a cup of coffee in a shaky hand, wakin' up in a foreign land, tryin' to act like i got somethin' planned, that's my window on the world, that's my window on the world, could you stand a little closer, girl, don't let mama cut those curfs, that's my window on the world, in broad daylight that circus tent pulled up stakes, i don't know where it went, a close dark room with a busted vent, that's my window on the world, i think about you when i'm countin' sheep, i think about you, then i can't sleep, i think that ocean is just so deep, that's my window on the world, that's my window on the world, could you stand a little closer, girl, the queen of sheba meets the duke of earle, that's my window on the world, down on indiana avenue, wes and jimmy, man they played the blues, i guess they were only passin' through, that's my window on the world, that's my window on the world, could you stand a little closer, girl, don't let mama cut those curfs, that's my window on the world, that's my window on the world, could you stand a little closer, girl, the queen of sheba meets the duke of earle, that's my window on the world
