Window - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

I thought by now, by this time

I'd be looking out the window in some finery

Across the street at the beat-up bar

I'd be watching some poor devil stumble by my brand new car

Well I thought by now I would have it made

Lift the shade, take a look out

But right now all i see

Is my own face in the window looking back at me

I thought by now, by this time

I'd be waiting at the window for some kind of sign

And I would be somebody's wife

With a tiny little baby gonna pass me by in life

I, I thought by now I would have it made

Life would be nearly perfect

But right now all i see

I've been standing at the window on my own two feet

I thought by now, by this time

I'd bе turning 'round the corner on a moonlit night

And it would seem I had it all beat

Zipping up thе leather on the cold hard street

Well I, I thought by now things would change

Turn the page, happy ending

But right now all I see

The people on the sidewalk look a lot like me

Never satisfied

I'm never satisfied

Am I?

I thought by now, by this time

I would be the keeper of my destiny

And I would live the best of lives

Whatever the hell that was in my own mind's eye

Well I, I thought by now I would have it made

Lift the shade, take a look out

But right now all I see

Is my own face in the window looking back at me

But right now all I see

Is my own face in the window

My own face in the window
