I Hate This Town

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Or fine as it was for me

To see your face today

I guess I knew that it would happen at some point

And I dreaded it because I knew

That you would be so kind

You could've died you've got it right down to the signs

So you observe the strict rules laid out in the books of Vatican

And tell me you I enjoy my stay

And I feel none that I can believe

That I was stupid enough to leave my bed today

If I'm so smart then why's this happening

You know I hate this fucking town

You cannot even leave your fucking house

Without running into someone who no longer cares about you

Somebody who you desperately want to see

But you know it's only going to cause more grief

But there's nothing left to say

And he can't hear you anyway

It's so confusing 'cause I really want

To hate you, but my intellect reminds me

That that doesn't make no sense

And I wanted to be your friend

But I couldn't pull it off in the end

And I'm disappointed with myself as I thought I did

But then again you always made it clear

That you do not care either way

Which begs the question

How can I still claim to love you

You told me time and time again

That you don't lose you always win

And that to make an effort would just be beneath you

You know I hate this fucking town

You cannot even leave your fucking house

Without running into someone who no longer cares about you

Somebody who you desperately want to see

But you know it's only going to cause more grief

But there's nothing left to say

And he can't hear you anyway

Now I'm packing my bags again

And you are not in the saddle then
