Everyone’s waiting when you get back home They don’t know where you been, why you gone so long. Friends treat you like a stranger and Strangers treat you like their best friend, oh well Spare a thought for the ones that came before All in a daze bending backwards to reach your goal. Sometimes I get sad It’s not all that bad One day, maybe never I’ll come around The city takes pity on your injured soul N heavenly prose ain’t enough good to fill that hole. Everyone’s soaked in animosity It’s vicious in winter, you never say what you mean. Friends treat you like a stranger and Strangers treat you like their best friend, oh well. Wakin’ up to another dismal day You got a ways to go, you oughta be grateful. Sometimes I get mad It’s not half as bad Pull yourself together N just calm down I’ll be what you want oh when you want it But I’ll never be what you need And the city looks pretty from where I’m standing...
