The Lawrence Arms

Like a Record Player

Lyrics

I'm like a record player
I keep goin' round
With a needle in my arm
Making someone else's sound
And lately I've been dreaming
Of blue and empty skies
But nothing like that ever
Crosses red and weary eyes

I've been traveling with bottles
Working close with cans
Sitting up forever with my best friends in a van
They've been saying "just a living"
But I don't know what they mean
'Cause I don't think they'll ever be looking live to me
It's the only game that I know how to play

Lyrics continue below...

The time, the time, to say goodbye
Passed us long ago
And I would say I overstayed
My welcome but you know
I don't think I'm ever going home

I don't need a doctor
'Cause anyone can see
That I had all of these shots and lord I am still sick as I can be
I think I need to rest my eyes so baby come with me
Lay down here beside me
Keep me warm while I sleep

There's trouble on the way
Huh! you poised to leave?
There always is and will sit and have a drink with me
Where we go all we got is these days that we made
But I don't wanna waste them being wistful or afraid

Without all of you I'd be even lower down
You know what I want to say but I can't get it out

The time, the time, to say goodbye
Passed us long ago
And I would say we've overstayed
My welcome but you know
I don't think we're ever going
Home
Home
Home
I don't think we're ever going home, oh no!
