Sad Screaming Old Man - Jeffrey Lewis/Los Bolts[00:00:00]
I'm used to apartments with walls that are weak[00:00:26]
Sometimes I hear it all if my neighbours must speak[00:00:28]
But the recent apartment and bedroom I got[00:00:30]
Started out seeming decent more boring than not[00:00:33]
For two or three years nothing happened at all[00:00:35]
There was an old man next door[00:00:38]
That I would see in the hall[00:00:39]
He shuffled politely wears an old suit[00:00:41]
You know a standard old geezer a quiet old coot[00:00:43]
He used to seem normal but then all at once[00:00:46]
He started these nocturnal groanings and runts[00:00:48]
It's hard to get used to it gives me the creeps[00:00:51]
Pretty much every night now he screams when he sleeps[00:00:53]
Dark night of our souls[00:00:56]
Dark night of our heart[00:00:59]
Dropping down the bottomless hole[00:01:01]
I just need to get some sleep[00:01:04]
I don't know when I might begin[00:01:05]
But I don't want another minute[00:01:06]
In this same old story purgatory[00:01:08]
Stop the torture old man and please[00:01:09]
Don't be myself from the future[00:01:11]
If it was a dog bark or a screaming infant[00:01:15]
I'd probably be fine back to sleep in an instant[00:01:17]
Picture me lying there alone in my bed[00:01:20]
When this old man just lets out[00:01:22]
These shrieks near my head[00:01:23]
And now every night at like three in A.M.[00:01:25]
I get woken up by this miserable mayem[00:01:27]
Who's being dismembered what the hell's wrong[00:01:30]
I'm feared he will send me insane before long[00:01:32]
And it makes me afraid just to be me like I'am[00:01:35]
It could be my fatal moments screaming old man[00:01:38]
Tell me what did he do[00:01:40]
In his youth for this torture[00:01:41]
And what about him[00:01:43]
Is it true is that he's me in the future[00:01:43]
Dark night of our soles[00:01:46]
Dark night of hearts[00:01:48]
Dropping down the bottomless hole[00:01:51]
I just need to get some sleep[00:01:53]
I don't where I might begin[00:01:55]
But I don't want another minute[00:01:56]
In this same old story purgatory[00:01:57]
Stop the torture old man[00:01:58]
And please don't be my myself from the future[00:02:00]
I'm used to apartments with walls that are weak[00:02:04]
Sometimes I hear it all if my neighbours would speak[00:02:06]
But the recent apartment and bedroom I got[00:02:09]
Started out seeming decent more boring than not[00:02:12]
But now it's like trying to sleep in some guantanamo cell block[00:02:14]
Or some hospital hell hole for some horrible shell shock[00:02:17]
Or some medieval dungeon with sadistic conditions[00:02:20]
Or some pitiful someone is getting whipped while you listen[00:02:22]
And you know in the dark when your mind is just spinning[00:02:25]
You get visions of weird things there's no end or beginnings[00:02:27]
I just thought for a bit and end up screaming some more[00:02:30]
I'm scared that's it's me and I'm the him from before[00:02:32]
I guess that it's paranoid fantasies of drive by scenario's[00:02:35]
That seem dumb in the daylight but ponaro gets very told[00:02:38]
Dark night of our soles[00:02:41]
Dark night of hearts[00:02:43]
Dark night of hearts[00:02:44]
Dark night of hearts[00:02:45]
Dropping down the bottomless hole[00:02:46]
I just need to get some sleep[00:02:49]
I don't where I might begin[00:02:50]
But I don't want another minute[00:02:51]
In this same old story purgatory[00:02:53]
Stop the torture old man[00:02:54]
And please don't be my myself from the future[00:02:55]
Well you know jeffrey it's true what you say[00:03:00]
I once was like you then I turned out this way[00:03:02]
I lived my whole life complaining love wasn't there[00:03:05]
It was never enough to sacrifice for a care[00:03:07]
And I once had a cat and one or two pals[00:03:10]
And I would go and hang out sort of that way you do now[00:03:12]
But now all I can do now is just scream in the dark[00:03:15]
There's the pain inside ninety year empty and heartless[00:03:17]
If you grow seeking freedom you're a rose breathing bloom[00:03:20]
So you know it's already leading you down the road to this room[00:03:22]
Though I'd get glory from war and dark and entrenched[00:03:25]
Then I spent forty years in a park on a bench[00:03:28]
And I throw away substantially hopeless eventually[00:03:30]
You just permanently shrieking like me[00:03:33]
Like you were meant to be[00:03:35]
I was sent out as a warning but as an acceptance[00:03:36]
So accept it[00:03:40]
It is already written[00:03:42]
It is already happening[00:03:44]
It's already here[00:03:46]
Aaaaaaaaa[00:03:48]
