[00:54.01]Come home and my guitar
[00:56.85]Has nothin to say to me
[00:59.79]I recoil from all my friends
[01:02.75]And then I'm in misery
[01:05.75]Been so long since I've been held
[01:08.76]Really since I was his
[01:11.71]Probably just need to be held
[01:14.76]That's probably all it is
[01:17.30]
[01:29.63]Course, then I think of my dad
[01:32.61]Who time travels mostly now
[01:35.68]Back to when he was free
[01:38.65]And holding out hope somehow
[01:41.72]Who sits all day in a line
[01:44.72]Of wheelchairs against a wall
[01:47.12]Inventing ways to play out time
[01:50.23]Like us all
[01:51.51]Like us all
[01:52.56]
[02:04.16]To all the people out there tonight
[02:08.26]Who are comforting themselves
[02:11.11]If you should happen to see my light
[02:14.23]You can stop and ring my bell
[02:17.17]I'm just sittin here in this sty
[02:20.45]Strewn with half written songs
[02:23.69]Taking one breath at a time
[02:27.15]Nothin much going on
[02:33.49]Nothin much going on
[02:37.63]
[03:04.40]Little flashing zero
[03:06.74]On my answering machine
[03:09.65]Rats scratching at my brain
[03:12.70]Brain shuffling its feet
[03:15.70]Yes I have my father's heart
[03:18.69]It may or may not keep on trying
[03:21.78]Can't really tell you what it is
[03:24.42]Keeps me this side of that dark line
[03:27.67]
[03:28.12]But I'm not there to take care of him
[03:33.89]And I'm not here to take care of me
[03:39.89]I'm going outside to watch the house burn down
[03:46.56]Across the street
[03:52.06]I'm going outside to watch the house burn down
[03:58.57]Across the street
[04:02.35]
[04:03.32]To all the people out there tonight
[04:07.22]Who are comforting themselves
[04:09.96]If you should happen to see my light
[04:13.10]You can stop and ring my bell
[04:15.94]I'm just sitting here in this sty
[04:19.21]Strewn with half written songs
[04:22.49]Taking one breath at a time
[04:25.90]Nothin much going on
[04:33.32]Nothin much going on
[04:35.70]
