Lyrics
Alby, you don't know me
Well I've got few words to say
You sleep in the parking lot all day
and draw hash marks on your brows
Our faces are sketched with a frown
Yours so mellow and livid
and mine's all narrow and bloom
with days and years on end
Marked with X's and booze
These crowds selling their mamas' and papas' loot
Jesse, I don't know you
But you have much to say
Sojourner Truth's got nothin on you, babe,
traveling far from home to home
Tales are marked with them pieces
yours so broken and deep
and mine is none but bent and bitter
makes the fall that much steeper
Marked with blunts and shame
Got our stories to tell but no game
Turn away, I don't disregard anything
like some hypocritical preacher but I want
peace and belonging, a place we can all come to rest
and shake off the dust
Talking to the masses, talking to the boys and girls
for looks, be it fun or games but never
was there a long-term member who had no regrets
still to wait...
So, think about it
Look at it twenty years down the road
Consider it darling, consider it dear
We don't have much time here on earth
So think about it
Look at it twenty years down the road
Consider it darling, consider it dear
We don't have much time left here
Turn away, I don't disregard anything
like some hypocritical preacher but I want
peace and belonging, a place we can all come to rest
and shake off the dust
Turn away, I don't disregard you ever, babe
like a hypocritical stranger, you know you want
peace and belonging, a place you can come to rest
to shake off the dust and start afresh
