Bob Mould - Lonely Afternoon текст песни

Well, the silence in this house

It echoes in this house

I pull myself together, say

"today I will get out"

The world, it changed without me

You should hear what Ive been told

The streets I see are blasphemy

Lined with paper cups and gold

And in some dream, I think

That every word I dare to speak

Someones always leaning over me

Lean all over me

A giant vision in the distance

Chase that rainbow down

I hear a pound, pound, pounding in my chest

I hear a knock, a knocking sound

Its the slivers flowing through my veins

Its a sign that Im alive

Youre lucky, oh my friend, so lucky

Youre lucky just to be alive

As words go turning by

I wish theyd all come clear

In this room

Another lonely afternoon

I can count the lonely days

I get by, as they go by

Standing in the stairway by this room

By this room

(theyve held me down for long enough;

Like a flower, I need to grow)

The frail and tender heart

Been shipwrecked with a fool

Feeling so abused, well, sometimes

Life can be so cruel

And the ones who make decisions for you

Well, they better understand

But you dont know what made me think of that

Lonely afternoon
