cecilia
Lyrics by K. Sahagian
Lada dada dada, oo-oh, la da da
Lada dada dada, oo-oh, la da da
You’re smashing windows
And busting plates
Because he don’t need you
And he never did anyways
Take your nails dig ‘em in your palms
Where do you go when your world is gone
Well she walks it to the window to get some cool fresh air
But she don’t expect the summer breeze to push back her hair
The way he used to
Before he used you
One arm holds on the window pane
Other’s reached outside
She hopes the promise to catch her he made
Will bring him back to her side
He sits in pieces by a fireside
To catch releases from his love life
He throws her knick knacks to the logs
Alone with a six pack and the dog
Did you want to see a grown man cry
Did you want to see a grown man cry?
Faces flash in the fire side
Same black dress from his dreams
Cemented now and forever in his mind
Is the lover making her leave
Down, down Cecilia
And she will never be lonely
Down she comes from the window side
Car pulls up in the yard
Graceful, tearing past windows she flies
Finally back to his arms
Lada dada dada, oo-oh, la da da
Lada dada dada, oo-oh, la da da
