Looking at your watch a third time waiting in the station for the bus
|
Going to a place that's far, so far away and if that's not enough
|
Going where nobody says hello, they don't talk to anybody they don't know
|
You'll wind up in some factory that's full time filth and nowhere left to go
|
Walk home to an empty house, sit around all by yourself
|
I know it might sound strange, but I believe
|
You'll be coming back before too long
|
|
(chorus)
|
Don't go back to Rockville, don't go back to Rockville, don't go back to Rockville
|
And waste another year
|
|
At night I drink myself to sleep and pretend
|
I don't care that you're not here with me
|
'Cause it's so much easier to handle
|
All my problems if I'm too far out to sea
|
But something better happen soon
|
Or it's gonna be too late to bring me back
|
|
(repeat chorus)
|
|
It's not as though I really need you
|
If you were here I'd only bleed you
|
But everybody else in town only wants to bring me down and
|
That's not how it ought to be
|
Well I know it might sound strange, but I believe
|
You'll be coming back before too long
|
|
(repeat chorus 2x)
