Recoil |
Come home and my guitar |
Has nothin to say to me |
I recoil from all my friends |
And then I’m in misery |
Been so long since I’ve been held |
Really since I was his |
Probably just need to be held |
That’s probably all it is |
Course, then I think of my dad |
Who time travels mostly now |
Back to when he was free |
And holding out hope somehow |
Who sits all day in a line |
Of wheelchairs against a wall |
Inventing ways to play out time |
Like us all |
Like us all |
To all the people out there tonight |
Who are comforting themselves |
If you should happen to see my light |
You can stop and ring my bell |
I’m just sittin here in this sty |
Strewn with half written songs |
Taking one breath at a time |
Nothin much going on |
Nothin much going on |
Little flashing zero |
On my answering machine |
Rats scratching at my brain |
Brain shuffling its feet |
Yes I have my father’s heart |
It may or may not keep on trying |
Can’t really tell you what it is |
Keeps me this side of that dark line |
But I’m not there to take care of him |
And I’m not here to take care of me |
I’m going outside to watch the house burn down |
Across the street |
I’m going outside to watch the house burn down |
Across the street |
To all the people out there tonight |
Who are comforting themselves |
If you should happen to see my light |
You can stop and ring my bell |
I’m just sitting here in this sty |
Strewn with half written songs |
Taking one breath at a time |
Nothin much going on |
