Changed my name to "promise you", yeah

Dying inside 'cause I want to, yeah

Didn't I say I wanted to, yeah?

Honey, I'd changed before you, yeah

Twenty-eight years are coming to end

The rain chased me down the gully again

Now I'm higher than anyone here

And dirt ain't nothing on me, yeah

B-b-b-baby, I swear it, I wanted to call

But on my way around, I happened to fall

She's a MUA at Carnegie Hall

In her vanity mirror, we're losing it all

Well, we shacked up swift abandonment way

Catching sweet rain inside a beret

In it I'm reflecting all of the day

And I will fade in the night, yeah

Will you apologise

For the remainder of your life?

Do you accept the charges?

I promise you

I'll promise to, yeah

Well, now she curls up with his favourite son

He's the ugliest man in heaven for one

As long as there's nobody fooling me there

Then dirt ain't nothing on me, yeah, yeah

They threw me out like I was a wedding bouquet

Now I can't quite remember what I had to say

Till I get higher than everyone here

And I will fade in the night, yeah

In the charmless morning

I promise to be gone

I almost felt the feeling

That I wanted to

I wanted to, yeah, ah

You thought I was here

But I am farther than the sun

The sun, ah

Silent as the feeling

That I've promised you

I promise you, yeah

Well, I changed my name to "promise you", yeah

It's easier than making apologies, yeah

Now I'm higher than anyone, yeah

And dirt ain't nothing on me, yeah
