lyrics
the night sky hangs heavy
i can feel it on my back
chinatown smells sour
crazy maria's going on about the zodiac
chester's hitting on sailors
who can't even remember their own names
me, i'm kneeling in the alley
laughing at my own shame
but i wouldn't change a thing
i wouldn't change a thing
i wouldn't change a thing
except that you would be here too
jessy's dad is a fascist
she says it's because he used to surf
her mom put me in the hospital
now she keeps trying to kill my nurse
the kids in the waiting room are fighting
their dad is drunk on tanqueray and doubt
i'm strapped to my bed
thinking of what i'll do if i get out
but i wouldn't change a thing
i wouldn't change a thing
i wouldn't change a thing
except that you would be here too
i wish i could have said goodbye
i wish i had known what to say
but i was too busy holding you tight
to notice when you slipped away
my picture is in the paper
the crowd is throwing stones
my sister sent a letter
she says i've been disowned
my kitchen has been raided
all they left was rotten plums
i'm at my wits' end
and the day has only just begun
but i wouldn't change a thing
i wouldn't change a thing
i wouldn't change a thing
except that you would be here too
i can feel it on my back
chinatown smells sour
crazy maria's going on about the zodiac
chester's hitting on sailors
who can't even remember their own names
me, i'm kneeling in the alley
laughing at my own shame
but i wouldn't change a thing
i wouldn't change a thing
i wouldn't change a thing
except that you would be here too
jessy's dad is a fascist
she says it's because he used to surf
her mom put me in the hospital
now she keeps trying to kill my nurse
the kids in the waiting room are fighting
their dad is drunk on tanqueray and doubt
i'm strapped to my bed
thinking of what i'll do if i get out
but i wouldn't change a thing
i wouldn't change a thing
i wouldn't change a thing
except that you would be here too
i wish i could have said goodbye
i wish i had known what to say
but i was too busy holding you tight
to notice when you slipped away
my picture is in the paper
the crowd is throwing stones
my sister sent a letter
she says i've been disowned
my kitchen has been raided
all they left was rotten plums
i'm at my wits' end
and the day has only just begun
but i wouldn't change a thing
i wouldn't change a thing
i wouldn't change a thing
except that you would be here too
