Debora in commute
In her brand new business suit
Thought she was lookin' pretty cute
But I had nothin' else to do
Just a Wednesday on the train
In the cold Chicago rain
I can tell she's feelin' pain
From the way she spells her name
She used to love and I can tell it
From the way her morning sweat drips
Like a thousand heavy pellets
Moving down across her wet lips
And Debora in commute
Ain't got nothin' else to do
Drinks her coffee, reads the news
And then prepares herself for you
Debora in commute
Puts on her rings and ties her shoes
She's lookin' fresh and lookin' new
But I had nothin' else to do
The train just seems so boring
On a grey Chicago morning
And the rain just keeps on pouring
And the homeless keep on snoring
She used to love and so did I
Okay, I'm just a lovin' guy
'Cause when I look into your eyes
You're image never leaves my mind
And Debora in commute
Ain't got nothin' else to do
She's so pure and absolute
She used to love like I loved you
Love can prick your veins
Until you don't know what it means
And it can stab you in the darkness
Right next to where your heart is
Getting over it's the hardest
But I'll tell you when that part comes
And love can prick your veins
Until the needle prints her name
Debora in commute
Listens to 1980s tunes
They remind her of her youth
And all the good times she went through
The headphones blaring loud
Under the Chicago clouds
She isn't bothered by the crowd
Of of all the other people now
I would put her on guest list
If I knew what her crest was
But you'd still be the first 'cause
I don't want you to get jealous
But Debora in commute
Ain't got nothin' else to do
And I ain't got nothin' to prove
Except myself and that's for you
Love can prick your veins
Until you don't know what it means
And it can stab you in the darkness
Right next to where your heart is
Getting over it's the hardest
But I'll tell you when that part comes
And love can prick your veins
Until the needle prints her name
