| [00:01.87] | |
| [00:26.00] | There is a middle-aged woman dragging her feet |
| [00:32.02] | She carries baskets of clothes to a laundromat |
| [00:36.49] | While the Mexican children kick rocks into the street |
| [00:43.29] | And they laugh in a language I don't understand |
| [00:47.41] | But I love them |
| [00:50.03] | Why do I love them |
| [00:52.90] | So the neighborhood is dimming as I smoke on the porch |
| [01:08.41] | And watch the people as they pass enclosed inside their cars |
| [01:12.53] | And on their faces just anger or disappointment |
| [01:18.89] | I start wishing there was something I could offer them |
| [01:23.64] | A consolation what could I offer them |
| [01:29.25] | When they are sad in their suburbs robots water the lawn |
| [01:41.11] | And everything they touch gets dusted spotless |
| [01:45.91] | So they start to believe that they haven't touched anything at all |
| [01:52.59] | While the cars in the driveway only multiply |
| [01:57.20] | They are lost in their houses |
| [02:00.95] | I have heard them sing in the shower |
| [02:03.82] | And making speeches to their sister on the telephone |
| [02:08.18] | Saying You come home |
| [02:10.54] | Darling you come here |
| [02:12.47] | Don't stay so far away from me |
| [02:14.91] | This weather has me wanting love more tangible |
| [02:19.46] | Something I can hold because it's getting cold |
| [02:25.89] | So lets hold up our fists to the flame in the sky |
| [02:37.49] | To block out the light that is reaching for our eyes |
| [02:43.43] | Because it would blind us It will blind us |
| [02:52.48] | Now I have locked my actions in the grooves of routine |
| [03:01.74] | So I may never be free of this apathy |
| [03:06.62] | But I wait for a letter that is coming to me |
| [03:13.16] | She sends me pictures of the ocean in an envelope |
| [03:18.16] | So there still is hope |
| [03:20.47] | Yes I can be healed |
| [03:22.09] | There is someone looking for what I concealed in my secret drawer |
| [03:26.45] | In my pockets deep |
| [03:27.83] | You will find the reasons that I can't sleep and you will still want me |
| [03:35.61] | But will you still want me |
| [03:41.98] | Well I say come for the week |
| [03:51.15] | You can sleep in my bed |
| [03:54.09] | And then pass through my life like a dream through my head |
| [03:59.95] | It will be easy I will make it easy |
| [04:04.02] | But all I have for the moment is a song to pass the time |
| [04:24.99] | A melody to keep me from worrying |
| [04:29.73] | Oh some simple progression to keep my fingers busy |
| [04:37.13] | And some words that are sure to come back to me and they will be laughing |
| [04:45.06] | My mediocrity My mediocrity |
