lyrics

Speak not another word
to this tired pretender
smiling just to sell the lie
my hard heart is tender

I sleep in Marie's hotel
her door always revolving
we don't love like that
but she caught me
when I was falling

Window drapes
satin lace
cigarettes and coffee stains
I don't feel too good today
Chicago, lay me low

Fell into the doorway
like a sullen rain-soaked scarecrow
and welcomed in the morning
with a broken de-tuned banjo

Marie got mad
and broke her step mother's
pretty china
every jagged plate of porcelain
shined a light
to blind her

I don't care
I'm glad it's done
we got hurt and had some fun
funny I can't name a one
Chicago, lay me low

Where do all the dreamers go
when they're too tired for sleep
castles in the clouds
raining down fire
on the streets

tell the truth you wicked liar
every bridge on fire
and now the flames are licking
your front door
for the funeral pyre

what's my name
I don't know
hidden in Marie's pea-coat
a letter that I never wrote
Chicago, lay me low

Made an angel in the snow
all it done was make me cold
for a fortune paid in fool's gold
I sold my soul

I don't care anymore
lay me low
