Like A Record Player

I'm like a record player

I keep goin' round

With a needle in my arm

Makin' someone else's sound



And lately I've been dreaming of blue and empty skies

But nothing like that ever crosses red and weary eyes



I've been traveling with bottles

Workin' close with cans

Sitting up for hours with my best friends in a van

And they say that there's a limit

But I don't know what they mean

'Cos I don't think that they'll ever be lookin' after me

It's the only game that I know how to play



The time, the time to say good-bye

Has passed us long ago

And I would say I've over-stay

My welcome but you know

I don't think I'm ever goin' home.



Now I don't need a doctor

As anyone can see

That I've had all of these shots although I'm still as sick as I can be

I think I need to rest my eyes

So baby, come with me.

Lay down here beside me

Keep me warm while I sleep

There's trouble on the way

Huh.

You best believe.

There always is a worry, sit and have a drink with me

When we go out, we got is these days that we made

And I don't want to waste them being wishful or afraid

Without all you, I'd be even lower down

You know what I wanna say, but I can't get it out



The time, the time to say good-bye

Has paseed us long ago

And I would say I've over-stay

My welcome but you know

I don't think I'm ever goin' home.

I don't think we're ever goin' home,

Oh no.
