Time has given me everything i need
lust, pride, gluttony, and relief
tomorrow weighs down like
clouds hung in the sky
but right now i'm feeling like
a rotten present from this life of mine
so what's there to laugh about?
I saw a sign in a window
a bold announcement of the facts
they got me crying on my pillow
the only way i can react
I got along until the first night passed me
and left me with a new arriving
nothing quite as new as before
something missing, so i looked for more
I catch a train to the next town's station
a busy place with a big town's tension
reminding me of that place i'd left
back home where most of my young life i'd spent
I moved like a shadow through a slew of streets
made like the victim in a crowd of thieves
just like it was back home
just like it was back home
and my sentiment caught up with me, of course
