[00:00.76] ROCKVILLE, GO BACK
[00:07.70] Looking at your watch a third time waiting in the station for the bus
[00:14.35]
[00:20.21] Going to a place that's far, so far away and if that's not enough
[00:27.31]
[00:32.86] Going where nobody says hello, they don't talk to anybody they don't know
[00:39.91]
[00:44.90] You'll wind up in some factory that's full time filth and nowhere left to go
[00:53.22]
[00:57.96] Walk home to an empty house, sit around all by yourself
[01:06.47]
[01:10.67] I know it might sound strange, but I believe
[01:14.55] You'll be coming back before too long
[01:17.48] (chorus)
[01:23.43] Don't go back to Rockville, don't go back to Rockville, don't go back to Rockville
[01:41.37]
[01:44.74] And waste another year
[01:48.24]
[01:49.16] At night I drink myself to sleep and pretend
[01:53.73] I don't care that you're not here with me
[01:57.73]
[02:01.60] 'Cause it's so much easier to handle
[02:05.03] All my problems if I'm too far out to sea
[02:10.15]
[02:14.77] But something better happen soon
[02:17.57] Or it's gonna be too late to bring you back
[02:21.66] (repeat chorus)
[02:24.26]
[03:18.64] It's not as though I really need you
[03:22.15] If you were here I'd only bleed you
[03:27.82] But everybody else in town only wants to bring you down and
[03:35.83] That's not how it ought to be
[03:38.07] Well I know it might sound strange, but I believe
[03:41.26] You'll be coming back before too long
[00:00.76] ROCKVILLE, GO BACK
