[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
Standing by the window, glass of milk in his hand
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

[Chorus]
Windowpane
Cutting through the rain looks so easy
Frame by frame
Looking for a name to claim
On a breezy afternoon
And the end's coming soon
And the end's coming soon

[Bridge]
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, a windy day
Listen, don't hold a cup in any season
Don't make me choose between rhyme or reason
And don't drink that milk in front of that window
You might as well blame it on the will that the wind chose
[Chorus]
Windowpane
Cutting through the rain looks so easy
Frame by frame
Looking for a name to claim
On a breezy afternoon
And the end's coming soon
And the end's coming soon
