I can feel the filth is coming
I can see it moving in
from a window with dirty hands
and coming back again,

yes, the waitress wants to kill me
but, I'd rather kill her all the same
she better not look at me
or I'll do it again,

but, it's me
someone was there, it was me
someone named Araby

Now, the bassist hates the drummer
and the drummer hates his wife
see her again? Run away, it will always be alright,

Shall we go back to the motel?
no wait! Let's run away.
spend all night in Paradise Bar
until it goes away,

but, it's me
someone was there, it was me
someone named Araby

but, it's me
someone else is me
somebody named Araby

Rain just slaps our faces
colors me to here
where do we go? Where's the train?
with eyes still shaking with fear,

I can see the lights are coming
but, I'm sure they're not for me
it's written on the roadmap
that I can never see,

but, it's me
someone was there, it was me
someone named Araby

but, it's me
somebody else is me
someone named Araby
