Train on a spur down by the riverside
  The door's open wide
  Planes in a line just seven miles away
  They leave every day
  And someone's always going south
  A guy with a truck here about is going New Year's Eve
  Why don't you leave

  Why don't I leave
  I can't make myself believe
  No one really cares for me here
  I can't make no sense of this place and I fear
  I can't spend another day without hearing from you
  Throw my life away and pass my body through into the Charles

  Boat on the Charles
  Bird on a wire outside my window pane
  It's started to rain
  Buses in line just seven blocks away
  They leave every day
  And someone's always asking me why I can't seem
  To make myself see
  That you won't answer me
  Why don't you leave

  Why don't I leave
  How many times can a man be told
  How many times before I lose control
  I don't give a damn for my immortal soul
  It's just about time I let my insides show
  So here I go
