Cape Canaveral

I should trade my heart in for a watch 'Cause all I do is watch the numbers slip away My lips silently repeat the countdown 'Cause it's so hard to say I always knew, I always knew that you would leave Do you know where the hell we are All the birds are far too quiet in the trees Frightened by the sweet things we told each other Frightened by the things we made them see I always knew, I always knew that you would leave That you would leave Like hunger that you always have to feed Like when Don Rickles spotlight goes blue The countdown tells me I am better off alone And so empty without you I always knew, I always knew that you would leave You would leave, that you would leave, that you would leave
