Changed my name to Promise You, yeah 
 Dying inside 'cause I want to, yeah 
 Didn't I say I wanted to? Yeah 
 Honey I'd changed before you, yeah 
    Twenty-years years are coming to end 
 The rain chased me down the gully again 
 Now I'm higher than anyone here 
 And dirt ain't nothing on me, yeah   
 But-but-but baby I swear it, I wanted to call 
 But on my way 'round I happened to fall 
 She's a M.U.A. at Carnegie Hall 
 In her vanity mirror, we're losing it all   
 Well, we shacked up swift abandonment way 
 Catch sweet rain inside a beret 
 In it I'm reflecting all of the day 
 And I will fade in the night, yeah   
 Will you apologise 
 For the remainder of your life? 
 Do you accept the charges? 
 I promise you, I'll promise to, yeah   
 Well, now she curls up with his favourite son 
 He's the ugliest man in heaven for one 
 As long as there's nobody fooling me there 
 Then there ain't nothing on me, yeah, yeah   
 They threw me out like I was a wedding bouquet 
 Now I can't quite remember what I had to say 
 Till I get higher than anyone here 
 And I will fade in the night, yeah   
 In the charmless morning 
 I promise to be gone 
 I almost felt the feeling 
 That I wanted to 
 I wanted to, yeah 
 Ah 
 You thought I was here 
 But I'm further than the Sun, Sun 
 Ah 
 Silent as the feeling 
 That I've promised you, I promise you 
 Yeah   
 Well, I changed my name to Promise You, yeah 
 It's easier than me making apologies, yeah 
 Now I'm higher than anyone here 
 And dirt ain't nothing on me, yeah
