Time has given me everything I need

Lust, pride, gluttony, and relief

Tomorrow weighs down like

Clouds hung in the sky

But right now I'm feeling like

A rotten present from this life of mine

So what's there to laugh about?



I saw a sign in a window

A bold announcement of the facts

They got me crying on my pillow

The only way I can react



I got along until the first night passed me

and left me with a new arriving

Nothing quite as new as before

something missing, so I looked for more



I catch a train to the next town's station

A busy place with a big town's tension

Reminding me of that place I'd left

Back home where most of my young life I'd spent



I moved like a shadow through a slew of streets

Made like the victim in a crowd of thieves

Just like it was back home

Just like it was back home

And my sentiment caught up with me, of course
