My So-called Life movie - Althea lyrics

rate me

Song by Grateful Dead<br /><br>

told Althea I was feeling lost <br>

Lacking in some direction <br>

Althea told me upon scrutiny <br>

my back might need protection <br>

<br>

I told Althea that treachery <br>

was tearin me limb from limb <br>

Althea told me: now cool down boy - <br>

settle back easy Jim <br>

<br>

You may be Saturday's child all grown <br>

moving with a pinch of grace <br>

You may be a clown in the burying ground <br>

or just another pretty face <br>

You may be the fate of Ophelia <br>

sleeping and perchance to dream - <br>

honest to the point of recklessness <br>

self centered to the extreme <br>

<br>

Ain't nobody messin with you but you <br>

your friends are getting most concerned - <br>

loose with the truth <br>

maybe it's your fire <br>

but baby...don't get burned <br>

When the smoke has cleared, she said, <br>

that's what she said to me: <br>

You're gonna want a bed to lay your head <br>

and a little sympathy <br>

<br>

There are things you can replace <br>

and others you cannot <br>

The time has come to weigh those things <br>

this space is getting hot - <br>

you know this space is getting hot <br>

<br>

I told Althea <br>

I'm a roving sign - <br>

that I was born to be a bachelor - <br>

Althea told me: Ok that's fine - <br>

So now I'm out trying to catch her <br>

<br>

Can't talk to me without talking to you <br>

We're guilty of the same old thing <br>

Talking a lot about less and less <br>

And forgetting the love we bring<br>

<br>
