in the evening
it was freezing
the sidewalk shining
but it was OK
i was not lonely
i was not no one
i was just hoping
for a book store
like the one i prayed for
and the music they played there
would be dinosaur jr.
and the people who worked there
would be super skinny
and super unfriendly
and that would make me happy
that would make me happy
what really kills me
is i'm only lonely
when i talk to you
i should have told you
i just can't handle
your endless sorrow
all i wanted from you
was some tomorrow
but it's OK
i'll find a book store
and buy some hubbard
and one about the bible
for my mother
you remember her
she understood how
to be alone
all alone
maybe the worst is over?
maybe the worst is over?
one day i left my room
in the evening
the sun had just gone down
but the sky was still shining
and not even the stars up
in their heaven
could throw their ashes
on the blue still burning
over this ugly city
and that makes me happy
