lyrics

Kathleen starts her day
Around 8 o’clock
And she works a few blocks
Down at a local shop
And she spends her days
Just sitting in a chair
Staring at these lines
That seem to go nowhere
And she said she wouldn’t do it
She’ll probably do it again
And she said she wouldn’t do it
She’ll end up there again

And she said to them she wouldn’t do it
But she’s gone and done it again
And she said to them she wouldn’t do it
But she’s gone and done it again
And she’s red, and she’s red,
And she’s blue and she’s green
Hell, she’s all the colors in between
And she’s red, and she’s red,
And she’s blue and she’s green
Hell, she’s all the colors in between

She hangs her keys
Up on the wall
And she promises herself
Not to go out at all
But she sits and she waits for the door
Or telephone to ring
And she knows very well
Both won’t do anything
And she said she wouldn’t do it
She’ll probably do it again
And she said she wouldn’t do it
She’ll end up there again

And she goes to the window
To see if
Anyone’s looking in
I’m at the window
Won’t someone
Come see
How I’ve been

She tries to keep Her mind off him
By trying all her clothes
Which are no longer in
Then she moves to the front room
To paint on her nails
Spills the polish on the carpet,
Oh, she fails
And she said she wouldn’t do it
She’ll probably do it again
And she said she wouldn’t do it
She’ll end up there again
