If I stood outside your window
In the middle of the night
Would you banish me?
I have seen the way you look at me
A mix of appetite
And curiosity
I have longed to feel your skin
Though I know the odds are thin
On the one side of the tracks
You`ve never been
I stand and gauge the distance

All your peacock-feathered friends
Will tell you: No one who pretends
To high society
Would be caught with me
And my scalawags in rags
Are just as skilled at hangin` tags
They`ll be callin` me
Little Lord Wannabe
And it`s three times now
Your neighbor`s poked her face
Out between her curtain lace
Soon the cops may come
And put me in my place
But I have no more resistance

I`ve debated dusk to dawn
If you meant to lead me on
Some cheap and childish joke
If that`s what you had in mind
Your heart has left your mind behind
`Cause you couldn`t cloak
What your eyes have spoken
Please don`t tarry in your tower
And deny the sparks that shower
When we`re near.
I`ve come through fear
This is the hour
To heed the sweet insistence

If I stood outside your window
In the moon`s bewitching light
Would you usher me inside?
Can`t you just about imagine
All the pettiness our passion
Would blow open wide
Like a rushing tide?
You must choose, on your own,
Between me and your throne
Like I`ve chosen to leave
All I`ve ever known
To gamble my existence.

It`s a long walk back to Loserville
It`s so far away from gladness
It`s forever to be wonderin`
Was it destiny or madness?

Here I stand
Look out your window
Here I stand
Look out your window
Here I stand
It`s now or never
Here I stand.
