It's been long, long drawn
Got my heart broke in the car
Parked outside the minibar
Oh, lord
It took me months to lose the pain
Now, I only take the train

It's been dark, so dark
I saw that dress you used to wear
In a picture on his chair
Oh, man
That one time I saw his face
I knew he'd try to take my place

Hey, nice to know ya
Hey, nice to know ya
Hey, nice to know ya
Hey, nice to know ya

Should've been a martyr not a firestarter
Burning down the circus
Don't know how to work this out
(Hey, nice to know ya, hey, nice to know ya)
Started out a novice, finished like an artist
Crashing like a party
Crying in the lobby
(Hey, nice to know ya, hey, nice to know ya)

It's be hard, so hard to know
You're out there on the street
I could only hope we meet
Oh, oh my
It's a bird's walk to be sure
Will they ever find a cure?

Hey, nice to know ya, hey, nice to know ya
Hey, nice to know ya, hey, nice to know ya
Hey, nice to know ya
Hey, nice to know ya
Hey, nice to know ya
Hey, nice to know ya
Hey, nice to know ya, hey, nice to know ya
Hey, nice to know ya, hey, nice to know ya
Hey, nice to know ya, hey, nice to know ya
Hey, nice to know ya, hey, nice to know ya

Should've been a martyr not a firestarter
Burning down the circus
Don't know how to work this out
Started out a novice, finished like an artist
Crashing like a party
Crying in the lobby,
You know it's been hard
