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 |
