Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Was lying in bed, was almost fast asleep
About to drift off into the deep
Wasn't the telephone ringing, wasn't the doorbell
Wasn't a dream as far as I could tell
[Verse 2]
Tap, tap, window, someone's throwing stones
Into somebody else's home
[Verse 3]
I jumped out of bed, I stood on a cat
I looked out the window at the laundromat
You were standing naked in your uniform
While bundles are washing all dirty and torn
[Verse 4]
Tap, tap, window, someone's throwing stones
Into somebody else's home
[Verse 5]
Don't throw stones
Don't throw stones
Yeah, everybody when I'm out
Yeah, everybody when I'm out
My window
My window
My window
[Verse 6]
On my way to work I stopped into your shop
I give your mother my weekly laundry job
Always ask her exactly when it'll be ready
Or if you're married or just going steady
[Verse 7]
Tap, tap, window, someone's throwing stones
Into somebody else's home
[Verse 8]
Don't throw stones
Don't throw stones
Yeah, everybody when I'm out
Yeah, everybody when I'm out
My window
My window
My window
[Verse 9]
Tap, tap, whoa, don't throw stones
Into other people's homes
Tap, tap, whoa, don't throw stones
[Verse 10]
We'll I'm not blind, so I don't read braille
I see your laundromat is up for sale
Course you'll be moving to some new address
My heart'll be broken, my clothes a mess
[Verse 11]
Tap, tap, window, someone's throwing stones
Into somebody else's home
[Verse 12]
Don't throw stones
Don't throw stones
Yeah, everybody when I'm out
Yeah, everybody when I'm out
My window
My window
My window
[Verse 13]
Tap, tap, whoa, don't throw stones
Into other people's home
Tap, tap, whoa, don't throw stones
Into other people's homes
Tap, tap, whoa, don't throw stones
Into other people's homes
Tap, tap, whoa, don't throw stones
Into other people's homes
