Wow. These are pretty wrong. Here are the correct lyrics, at least from the Confusion recording:
You waited a little while by a wetted sunset street,
And a lady, looking tired, comes along to take away your dream.
Cause he thought you might come by tonight;
She thought so, too, to hear the way he talks, eyes trained to the cross.
He lives up in his head, scared of every little door.
Someone’s always breaking in accidentally, using nothing but their voice.
But he walks along, extremely alone, down your one way,
Across the great divide where no two paths collide.
Go by, go by.
Go by, go by.
You won’t come by tonight, but if you did you’d only curse
All the things he’d have to say to perform the works that you’ve rehearsed.
Like your happy song that he’d interpret wrong—you’d make him cry.
It’s how you’re gonna win, beginning at the end.
Go by, go by.
Go by, go by.
Go by, go by.
Go by, go by.
