(Don't Go Back To) Rockville |
Looking at your watch a third time waiting in the station for a bus |
Going to a place that’s far, so far away and if that’s not enough |
Going where nobody says hello, they don’t talk to anybody they don’t know |
You’ll wind up in some factory that’s full time filth and nowhere left to go |
Walk home to an empty house, sit around all by yourself |
I know it might sound strange, but I believe |
You’ll be coming back before too long |
Don’t go back to Rockville |
And waste another year |
At night I drink myself to sleep and pretend |
I don’t care if you’re not here with me |
'Cause it’s so much easier to handle |
All my problems if I’m too far out to sea |
But something better happen soon |
Or it’s gonna be too late to bring you back |
It’s not as though I really need you |
If you were here I’d only bleed you |
But everybody else in town only wants to bring you down and |
That’s not how it ought to be |
I know it might sound strange, but I believe |
You’ll be coming back before too long |
