Down Town Again - Slobberbone[00:00:00]
The kids are loud the house it stinks[00:00:25]
He cracks a beer and pours another drink[00:00:28]
Says he needs some time to think[00:00:32]
Hindsight askewed today's the day[00:00:36]
She'll be home soon the kids'll be okay[00:00:38]
He finds the keys and drives away[00:00:43]
The barroom reeks a golden stench[00:00:57]
Assume your place upon the weary bench[00:01:00]
You take the hit don't even flinch[00:01:04]
And the ghosts of friends who've moved along[00:01:08]
Can still be felt but they don't sing along[00:01:11]
To your stubborn stupid song[00:01:15]
You've been pretending loss could be your gain[00:01:20]
But in the end you're just as lame[00:01:25]
Now where have you been [00:01:28]
You've been in the down town again[00:01:30]
And it's the same old thing:[00:01:33]
The flailing fall the flake and wallow forsaking friends[00:01:34]
And where have you gone [00:01:39]
Cause you been gone so damn long [00:01:41]
Okay what's wrong [00:01:44]
Are you the only one to have ever once felt strong[00:01:46]
And then lost where you belong [00:01:48]
Some buffer for the years ahead[00:01:52]
Means nothing if you're living dead[00:01:57]
Now where have you gone [00:02:00]
Your thoughts are dulled her words are sharp[00:02:40]
Your memory's stained [00:02:43]
You make the disconnect between the heart and brain[00:02:44]
You figured loss could be your gain[00:02:51]
You read the contract and you signed your name[00:02:54]
Said goodbye and walked away[00:02:58]
You figured loss could be your gain[00:03:02]
In some fickle lease that's paid in shame[00:03:08]
But in the end you're just as lame[00:03:13]
In sad attempts to pluck some gem[00:03:17]
From down below and deep within[00:03:20]
With hazy eyes and sallow skin you wait to find just[00:03:23]
Now where have you been You've been in the down town again[00:03:28]
And it's the same old thing:[00:03:32]
The flailing fall the flake and wallow forsaking friends[00:03:34]
And where have you gone [00:03:39]
Cause you been gone so damn long [00:03:41]
Okay what's wrong [00:03:43]
Are you the only one to have[00:03:45]
Ever once felt strong and then lost where you belong [00:03:46]
And what have you seen [00:03:50]
Was it everything that you had ever dreamed [00:03:51]
Is there beauty to be dredged and skimmed in filthy nets[00:03:54]
And lifted from these beery depths [00:03:58]
To be dragged and strewn upon the shore[00:04:01]
Or simply scraped up off the floor[00:04:04]
Attested to through glass-bottom eyes soft and sad and sore[00:04:06]
Where have you been[00:04:11]
