| Up 'til four A.M. |
| again
|
| You’re waking up at 2 P. M
|
| I think there’s something weird about you
|
| The voices in the dark surround you
|
| In hospitals, in hospitals
|
| The lights are humming dim and dull
|
| A working life has no appeal
|
| You’re drunk behind the steering wheel
|
| You drive to San Francisco
|
| On the morning of your birthday
|
| And things are getting better in the worst of ways
|
| The bug inside your ear
|
| Is like a swollen reminder
|
| That your broken little Volvo
|
| Has a little broken driver
|
| The journals that you throw away
|
| Tell little funny stories
|
| In ugly black pen drawings
|
| Of distorted lover’s bodies
|
| And you will go back home
|
| To find a town you don’t remember
|
| You’d lie still for no one but for him you’d surrender |
