10000 Maniacs - Don't Go Back To Rockville Lyrics
[ original version by r.e.m. ]Looking at your watch a third time waiting in the station for a busGoing to a place thats far, so far away and if thats not enoughGoing where nobody says hello, they dont talk to anybody they dontKnowYoull wind up in some factory thats full time filth and nowhere leftTo goWalk home to an empty house, sit around all by yourselfI know it might sound strange, but I believeYoull be coming back before too longDont go back to rockvilleAnd waste another yearAt night I drink myself to sleep and pretendI dont care if youre not here with mecause its so much easier to handleAll my problems if Im too far out to seaBut something better happen soonOr its gonna be too late to bring you backIts not as though I really need youIf you were here Id only bleed youBut everybody else in town only wants to bring you down andThats not how it ought to beI know it might sound strange, but I believeYoull be coming back before too long
