lyrics

I'm not much for work at all these days
But tell them that I'm doing fine, I'm out running the race
'Cause I've got some money hidden
For a trip into the desert, then I'm never coming back again

I've seen too much television to sing these blues
My head's all full of catchphrases and what's passing as the news
It never meant that much, I guess
I'm feeling older than I am, and I've been speaking less and less

And I've been shutting in
To watch from the window as the dark comes creeping
But last night they came by to rob me
So I said "put your bullets into me and take everything that you see
I'm dead..."

Our eyes like knives, we're going crazy
But I'm free as hell
Let them run off, to run their mouths
But I'm free as hell

If you can find something to love you might make it through
Just put it all into the simplest terms
or they won't know what to do with you
Put it all back in your head
The pain is better off when you pretend it doesn't exist

But there were times we've known
When it was good to leave and good to come back home
It's just that none of that is left
If we're gonna go on living
I guess we should try to see what else there is...

Maybe some shack just off the beach
Or a house in the desert or some town just out of reach
What was that I said?
Wishful thinking, I can barely pull myself out of this bed
