lyrics

There’s an old man staring through the window
days grow cold, he feels the wind blow
it doesn’t seem to bother him at all
and when you pass him in an alley
You sometimes catch him talking to the wall
In a rundown bar around the corner
He’s always welcomed by the owner
Who buys him hot meals & a pint of beer
is it just a decent gesture
Or is it just a glimpse of the future he fears?

chorus:
he doesn’t have a clue
what to say or do
doesn’t understand
Mr Killmouski
Where did he go wrong
Where did he belong
Only knows his name
Mr Killmouski
The strangest man around
This town

He sometimes talks about the war
we’ve heard the stories al before
& smile and nod at everything he says
He will the show the scars to prove it
just as long as someone fills up his glass
there’s an empty table in the morning
he just left without a warning
didn’t leave a note or say goodbye
now we’ll never know the truth about him
as if we even tried…

chorus.
