A glow fades out, a beer bottle tumbles
Pretty proclamations, muffled mumbles
A storybook star, an unclear ending
My healthy hot, heart
It now needs mending
Again
'Cause if he don't know he want
Then he don't want me
A dizzy, lilting lover, now I'm gravity
And I can see a stranded man in a downward spiral
Pick me up, Cadillac
Spun me round
For a while
Vancouver streets
Are quiet as the rain pours down
They shine so clean
I wish my lover could be found
I want somebody to kiss
He wants somebody to exist
I give him open doors
He likes back exits
And no one tells him how to think
Oh, I won't tell him how to feel
But I'm okay to fall in love just standing still
The world is beautiful standing still
The world whistles as he whirls and wanders around the stage
Fame is a trophy and a trap, an invisible cage
And I see him spin and sputter when he hits the edge
Now he's talking to ghosts who won't leave his bed
He calls 'em his best friends
Well, they can have him instead
