Lyrics
Rita
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.
The radio's on, the song they play
Can't make no sense of what they say
I couldn't tell you if I knew
Don't understand most things I see
In the blue light of the tv
I couldn't tell you what to do
[Chorus:]
Rita, it all just seems too much
And sometimes maybe not enough
My head is so, so filled up
And Rita, I guess i think too much
Or maybe sometimes not enough
My head is always so filled up
I hold the phone close to my ear
Can't recognize the voice I hear
Couldn't remember what they said
The newspaper stacks up on the step
I can't believe how long I slept
Now why should i get out of bed
[Chorus]
There was a thing floating way up there
Was it a wish or another prayer
It was just stuck up in the air
When it is all finally said and done
I start again where I'd begun
In front of rita when I looked dumb
