R.E.M.



Eponymous



Rockville





Looking at your watch a third time waiting in the station for a bus



Going to a place that's far, so far away and if that's not enough



Going where nobody says hello, they don't talk to anybody they don't know



You'll wind up in some factory that's full time filth and nowhere left to go



Walk home to an empty house, sit around all by yourself



I know it might sound strange, but I believe



You'll be coming back before too long







Don't go back to Rockville



And waste another year







At night I drink myself to sleep and pretend



I don't care if you're not here with me



'Cause it's so much easier to handle



All my problems if I'm too far out to sea



But something better happen soon



Or it's gonna be too late to bring you back







It's not as though I really need you



If you were here I'd only bleed you



But everybody else in town only wants to bring you down and



That's not how it ought to be



I know it might sound strange, but I believe



You'll be coming back before too long
