Song | Thanksgiving Grey |
Artist | The Jim Yoshii Pile-Up |
Album | Picks Us Apart |
作曲 : Jim Yoshii Pile-Up | |
You've lost time in the best of houses. | |
You wake up tired in the evening hours. | |
And so you drift from room to room in shorts and socks. | |
And you ignore the phone, the friend who knocks. | |
And you drag a chair across the wooden floor. | |
You sit at the screen door, | |
And watch the autumn leaves fall and coat the ground. | |
And thank you for the easy let-down. | |
It never seems to work out right. | |
"We're on your side; our love is blind." | |
I pretend to know the words. | |
I smile and look the other way. | |
I think I must be wrong about you. | |
And on and on, circles the night. | |
I push my views; you call them "white." | |
And round and round, your lips close tight. | |
You raise the dead and levitate your bed. | |
I was sprawled out on your bed, | |
Trying hard to keep my hands behind my head, | |
Trying hard not to embarrass either one of us. | |
Yes, I know you're ill, but I was ill first. | |
It's not so easy being on the other side. | |
You're about to find out. |
