lyrics

I need a drink, and some time to think, I said, as I walked into the room.
Watching hockey on the TV, I'm uneasy again
What I need is someone who can treat me better than I treat myself
All I got is a tapeworm, and a broken left arm
How I wish I could sing without my voice cracking
You took me by the hand and told me I'm a sad sad man
You said here's another drink on me and then
I told you what was in my head and you laughed and said it would be okay
I told you I'd been thinking about dying a lot
You told me it don't matter cause I'm beautiful anyway
I don't know if I believe a single word that you say
But even still it feels good to feel some sort of way
I look around at all these people with their heads in their hands
They don't think it makes a difference if they sit or stand
It don't matter much to me but it probably should
I'm not the type to make a scene when I've been drinking
But
Don't
Make me stop
Don't let me go
I don't know if I could make it on my own
But if I have to try then maybe I can say goodbye
I had my drinks and some time to think as I leave the room
Watching hockey on the TV, I'm feeling okay
What I need is a good night's sleep and some tylenol

It's really fuckin' spacey and emotional. Reminds me of Sunny Day Real Estate and Hum. Sweet band. John Weiss

Local band from Springfield. Nice, twinkly, post-rocky emo. Kinda reminds me a bit of American Football. "Astronaww, Man" is my favorite track. Go listen. John Weiss
