[Verse 1]
Smoke another cigarette, watch the rain
Put me on the outskirts of a mental train
What's done's been done, you can't change that
I couldn't make the window, I couldn't go back

[Chorus]
Is there no getting free
Something's dying inside me
Pain for pretty can't you see
Changes, oh, no, no

[Verse 2]
Watching the predictions, it looks like snow
I'd like to travel south but I can't go
December's on the crest, almost gone
Shadows on the pavement never looked so long

[Chorus]
Is there no getting free
Something's dying inside me
Pain for pretty can't you see
Changes, oh, no, no

[Verse 3]
Maybe it's my attitude, I can't get straight
Take me like I am or throw me away
Trying to kill the dream that's inside me
I don't want to end up your casualty
[Chorus]
Is there no getting free
Something's dying inside me
Pain for pretty can't you see
Changes, oh, no, no
