The cracks between the paving stones look like rivers of flowing veins
Strange people who know me peeping from behind every window pane
The girl I used to love lives in this yellow house
Yesterday she passed me by, she doesn't want to know me now

Can you see the real me? Can ya, oh, yeah.

I ended up with the preacher, full of lies and hate
I seemed to scare him a little, so he showed me to the golden gate
