lyrics

Nineteen, wrong shoes, wrong jacket, standing on his own
And I let him in at four for absolutely no reason
And he is a regular now and he tells the story wrong
He thinks he talked his way past me. He did not talk.

He thinks he made it, made it, he thinks he made it
And that is exactly how it has to stay for it to work
He thinks he made it, made it, he thinks he made it
If he knew it was mercy it would stop being a door

I see him on the night bus sometimes. He nods at me.
He has no idea. Sixty a night go home and he does not.

He thinks he made it, made it, he thinks he made it
And that is exactly how it has to stay for it to work
He thinks he made it, made it, he thinks he made it
If he knew it was mercy it would stop being a door
