Minneapolis Lyrics

I've been waiting for you to come back
Since you left Minneapolis
Snow covers the streetlamps and the windowsills
The buildings and the broken crooked trees
Dead leaves of December
Thin skinned and splintered
Never gotten used to this bitter winter

I've been wasted, angry and sad
Since you left Minneapolis
I wish my thoughts were pure like driven snow
Like the heavens and the spring's virgin buds
But they strangle me with their poison
Black clouds have covered up the sun again

I can always trace it back
To that night in Minneapolis
Here on the seventh floor
In a room I can't call my own
Deadbolt on the door, do not disturb sign
Shaking and trembling
On the clean white linen
Slivers of starlight across the ceiling

A dozen yellow roses
All that's left in Minneapolis
I wish I'd never seen your face or heard your voice
You're a bad pain in my gut
I wanna spit you out
Open up this wound again
Let my blood flow red and thin
Into the glistening
Into the whiteness
Into the melting snows of Minneapolis

So is this a sequel to "I Just Wanted to See You So Bad," or does she just really like the seventh floor of hotels?

PROBABLY BOTH

I know it sounds like a bad alcohol or herion run after a another nasty breakup.
