You shove your way, through the room from the street And finally to me Ya ask me what I'm drinking My friend johnny, tugging on my sleeve Asks if I wanna leave But what I'm really thinking is
Why can't it be easy, easy Why don't you leave, leave me, leave me be
I can see you swaying I can't hear what you're saying
I'm sitting here stuck And plastered to my seat I think up a reason to leave When you finally stop speaking
I'll take a a long slow Walked down Washington Street Half asleep on my feet Half aware if I'm dreaming
I'll go home alone A sinking stone A switched-off telephone I'll go on and be free A frozen breeze A fallen down factory
But I still see you swaying And I can't hear what you're saying
I just lost the plot Got a little caught In a little knot I just hit a wall Had a little fall Felt a swinging wrecking ball
And why should that be Why don't you tell me Why don't you tell me
I'm sure you'll tell me Why don't you tell me I guess you'll tell me Tell me
