hey shall we wade
through the room for the street
and finally to me
he asked me what I'm drinking

my friend johnny tugging on my sleeve
asked if I wanna leave
and what I'm really thinking is

why can't it be easy' easy
why don't you leave me'
leave me' leave me be

I can't see you swaying
I can't hear what you're saying

I'm sitting here stuck
and plastered to my seat
I think of a reason to leave
when you finally start speaking

I'll take a a long stroll
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 briefly
a frozen breeze
a fallen down factory

I still see you swaying
but I can't hear what you're saying


I just lost the plot
got a little cop
been a little knocked
I just hit a wall
had a little fall
I 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'd tell me
tell me
