    Standing on the corner
    Plastic cup in her hand
    Standing on the corner
    Saving for some gin
    You don't need to ask where she's been or what's up
    She'll gladly tell you all about the life she had
    Before she had the cup
    Standing by the window
    Glass of milk in his hand
    What could I have done what could I have said
    Broken glass spilled milk lying on the floor looking dead
    Window pain
    Cutting through the rain looks so easy
    Frame by frame
    Looking for a name to claim on a breezy afternoon
    And the ends coming soon
    So many people hold a cup
    So many die drinking milk in front of a window
    I once knew a woman who got in the way
    Of the intentions of a windy day
    Don't hold a cup in any season
    Don't make me choose between rhyme or reason
    Don't drink that milk in front of that window
