Well, everyone has said that I might go
'Cos my red suitcase and my ray-bans weren't quite so
I'd bear the heavy wind and rain that falls
I'll never come back again
'Cos you know I laugh when winter shows her hand

Well, that picture framed the saddest thing you'll see
But it bought me time and a place that love could be
And since I'm going now please rearrange
'Cos I'd like to think that things have changed
I don't believe you'll be open anymore

So tell me if you want to see
A world outside your window
A world outside your window isn't free
Oh and tell me if you wanna catch that feeling of redemption
That feeling of redemption doesn't do much for me

Well, everyone was hoping you would stay a while
Tell us 'bout that great land in the south
And now I see that man, now ain't he under offer?
I tell you child you go wash out your mouth

So tell me if you want to see
A world outside your window
A world outside your window isn't free
Oh and tell me if you wanna catch that feeling of redemption
That feeling of redemption doesn't do much for me

Now what can you say?
I'm hiding in the belfry
How can you say I wanna catch time
How can you say you know anything about me
Because I knew about you, but I won't care about you

Now everyone has come to see, now some things have to die
Flowers out for this photographic haunt, but they all pass me by
But the age is not a funny game, it don't give such a buzz
And when I winced with ignorance
I had to kiss this dust

So tell me if you want to see
A world outside your window
A world outside your window isn't free
Oh and tell me if you want to catch that feeling of redemption
That feeling of redemption doesn't do much for me
