I Can Tell

Whatever news you had
 Whatever shoes you had
 Whatever made you mad enough
 On the promenade you can
 Give it a rest
 Give it a seat
 Or in the glass you can cut your feet
 Pop a knee
 Flesh torn
 And everything else seems
 A little worse for worn
 A simple thing, I admit
 Out I never did figure it
 I can tell that I'm about to
 I can tell when I'm without you
 I've seen you juggle
 I've seen your best
 I've seen you running out of luck you pressed
 I've seen the scores on how far up you fessed
 Until a thinner air is what you're breathing now
 So catch your breath
 Don't just stand there holding it
 I've seen you die a little death
 I'm pretty sure you were here
 But lately things tend to disappear
 Like the days I never got around to
 I can tell when I'm without you
 Psychic on the corner
 'Palms and Runes, Tarot and Tea'
 The proprietor gives matches to the girls in line
 For Club Diplomacy
 Be he's not on to me
 Crossed Olympic to collect my fee
 But there's no one in this neighborhood who
 I can tell when I'm without you
 I can tell when I'm without you
 I can tell when I'm without you
