Writing On The Wall - Lene Lovich

The writing’s on the subway wall

I’m sorry that I never called

I, I never phoned

or wrote to you

It’s silly 'cause

I wanted to Oh yes, the subway wall

sadly seems to say it all

It’s my mistake, I know that now

a bit too late to cry…

You’re somewhere else

with someone else

and here am I, all by myself

An empty wall, and empty me I write the things that should’ve been

I tell the world how much I care

and miss the one

that isn’t there

OH — The writing on the wall

OH — The writing on the wall

OH — The writing on the wall

OH — The writing on the wall…

The writing’s on the subway wall

and give or take a year or so someone will come

and rub it out

delete the words

that hurt my heart

Oh yes, there will remain

a little hurt, a little stain

the memory can still be read

upon the wall

inside my head

OH — The writing on the wall

(right on)

Oh — The writing on the wall

OH — The writing on the wall

(write on)

Oh — The writing on the wall

OH — The writing on the wall
