  • I'm living in a waiting room on the tenth floor
    Of a New York City skyscraper
    Got the paperwork filled out my friend
    Can you tell me how this story ends?
    My best girl caught a taxi cab to an uptown bar to meet my band
    But I don't have the energy so she plugs my machines back in
    And the late night T.V. talks to me about God but God why can't I sleep?
    As she plugs my machines back in
    But my machines back in now don't cha'

    (Diane)
    I'd by lying if I said this was my plan
    (Diane)
    We are all in this together
    (Diane)
    See I'm trying but I just don't understand
    (Diane)
    Well I can't predict the weather past the storm
    (The weather past the storm)

    And there's mornings where I wake up quick
    And my head it dreams and my stomach's sick alone
    To slowly pull the sun from bed
    Below the fifty-ninth street bridge
    And I feel like I'm a battle tank
    But there's peace for every pound of strength
    I'm waiting for the enemy
    While she plugs my machines back in
    (Back in)

    Diane
    (Diane)
    I'd be lying if I said this was my plan
    (Diane)
    We are all in this together
    (Diane)
    See I'm trying but I just don't understand
    (Diane)
    Well I can't predict the weather past the storm
    (The weather past the storm)
    (The weather past the storm)
    (The weather past the storm)
    (The weather past the storm)
    (The weather past the storm)
    (The weather past the storm)
