Hello walls (hello hello) how things go for you today Don't you miss her since she upped and walked away And I'll bet you dread to spend another lonely night with me But lonely walls I'll keep you company Hello window well (hello hello) I see that you're still here Aren't you lonely since our darling disappeared Well look here is that a teardrop in the corner of your pane Now don't you try to tell me that it's rain She went away and left us all alone the way she planned Yes we'll have to learn to get along without her if we can Hello ceiling (hello hello) I'm gonna stare at you a while You know I can't sleep so won't you bear with me awhile We gotta all stick together or else I'll lose my mind I've got a feeling she'll be gone a long long time (hello hello)
