Bob Mould - Lonely Afternoon Lyrics
Well, the silence in this houseIt echoes in this houseI pull myself together, sayToday I will get outThe world, it changed without meYou should hear what Ive been toldThe streets I see are blasphemyLined with paper cups and goldAnd in some dream, I thinkThat every word I dare to speakSomeones always leaning over meLean all over meA giant vision in the distanceChase that rainbow downI hear a pound, pound, pounding in my chestI hear a knock, a knocking soundIts the slivers flowing through my veinsIts a sign that Im aliveYoure lucky, oh my friend, so luckyYoure lucky just to be aliveAs words go turning byI wish theyd all come clearIn this roomAnother lonely afternoonI can count the lonely daysI get by, as they go byStanding in the stairway by this roomBy this room(theyve held me down for long enough;Like a flower, I need to grow)The frail and tender heartBeen shipwrecked with a foolFeeling so abused, well, sometimesLife can be so cruelAnd the ones who make decisions for youWell, they better understandBut you dont know what made me think of thatLonely afternoon
