R. E. M. - Rockville lyrics

rate me

(berry/buck/mills/stipe)<br><br><br>Looking at your watch a third time waiting in the station for a bus<br>Going to a place that's far, so far away and if that's not enough<br>Going where nobody says hello, they don't talk to anybody they don't know<br>You'll wind up in some factory that's full time filth and nowhere left to go<br>Walk home to an empty house, sit around all by yourself<br>I know it might sound strange, but I believe<br>You'll be coming back before too long<br><br>(chorus)<br>Don't go back to rockville, don't go back to rockville, don't go back to rockville<br>And waste another year<br><br>At night I drink myself to sleep and pretend<br>I don't care if you're not here with me<br>'cause it's so much easier to handle<br>All my problems if I'm too far out to sea<br>But something better happen soon<br>Or it's gonna be too late to bring you back<br><br>(repeat chorus)<br><br>It's not as though I really need you<br>If you were here I'd only bleed you<br>But everybody else in town only wants to bring you down and<br>That's not how it ought to be<br>I know it might sound strange, but I believe<br>You'll be coming back before too long<br><br>(repeat chorus 2x)
