Down Lovers' Lane in the depths of winter Life's a hurricane, just a flash in the pan I was built to last But the cat's still scratching at the window Won't you let it in if you can How many songs can singers keep singing? How many cars and planes must they get in? Ah, don't look now But the cat's still scratching at the window Won't you let it in Everybody wants to be perfect Everybody wants to keep clean Everybody wants to be better than that Everybody's caught in a dream Oh, Holy God, what have we done? This progression is getting out of hand Yeah, the King's in heaven But the cat's still scratching at the window Although I understand Everybody wants to be perfect Everybody wants to keep clean Everybody wants to be better than that Everybody's caught in a dream But the cat's still scratching at the window Yeah, the cat's still scratching at the window Won't you let it in Everybody wants to be perfect Everybody wants to keep clean Everybody wants to be better than that Everybody's caught in a dream (But the cat's still scratching at the window) Everybody wants to be perfect (Yeah, the wolf's still howling at the door) Everybody wants to be seen (But the cat's still scratching at the window) Everybody wants to be better than that (The wolf's still howling at the door) I just wanna be me
