[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]
