If You Have to Ask by Mark Eitzel Lyrics
There's no way in - the street is all blocked off
Police lights spin: sirens and certain pain
So we drive around - don't worry, I'm not lost
The cab driver frowns
If you have to ask, then you'll never know
Later that night, all your black winter clothes
The wind cuts right through you like you weren't there at all
You froze on the street, you froze to the glass
You think I don't love you
If you have to ask, then you'll never know
My voice gonna sneak like smoke through a crack in your window pane
Gonna curl up your stair and light a fire in your brain
The music flows and echoes from the club on the empty street
As you walk away from me, footsteps, the useless beat
I watch your shadow, headlights and brick walls
You think I won't follow
If you have to ask, then you'll never know
Police lights spin: sirens and certain pain
So we drive around - don't worry, I'm not lost
The cab driver frowns
If you have to ask, then you'll never know
Later that night, all your black winter clothes
The wind cuts right through you like you weren't there at all
You froze on the street, you froze to the glass
You think I don't love you
If you have to ask, then you'll never know
My voice gonna sneak like smoke through a crack in your window pane
Gonna curl up your stair and light a fire in your brain
The music flows and echoes from the club on the empty street
As you walk away from me, footsteps, the useless beat
I watch your shadow, headlights and brick walls
You think I won't follow
If you have to ask, then you'll never know
