The Dummy (rare compilation track) Songtext
von Cold Chisel

He′s not that eloquent
He whispers just a simple word
The pain before her body
Reflects a love so tender, so absurd

With a figure like a fencepost
And a face that frightens kids and little dogs
He stands before the window
And watches her in silence all night long

But she knows she has to leave him
She has to make the leap
Because his ways are introverted and his mind runs really deep
And she knows he cannot help it if he cries himself to sleep
She'll be gone, she′ll be gone in the morning


The neons light the sidewalk
And flicker on my merchandise unsold
She's passive, but unyielding
And her heart within her soul is icy cold

But she knows she has to leave him
She has to make the leap
'Cause his ways are introverted and his mind is pretty deep
And she knows he cannot help it, if he cries himself to sleep
She′ll be gone, she′ll be gone in the morning

Morning eyes are glassy
My arms erase the milk attitude
He leans against the parking sign
And relishes that mutual solitude

She'll be gone, in the morning
She′ll be gone
