Lyrics to: Dont Go Back To Rockville
By Artist: 10000 Maniacs
[ original version by r.e.m. ]
Looking at your watch a third time waiting in the station for a bus
Going to a place thats far, so far away and if thats not enough
Going where nobody says hello, they dont talk to anybody they dont
Know
Youll wind up in some factory thats 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
Youll be coming back before too long
Dont go back to rockville
And waste another year
At night I drink myself to sleep and pretend
I dont care if youre not here with me
cause its so much easier to handle
All my problems if Im too far out to sea
But something better happen soon
Or its gonna be too late to bring you back
Its not as though I really need you
If you were here Id only bleed you
But everybody else in town only wants to bring you down and
Thats not how it ought to be
I know it might sound strange, but I believe
Youll be coming back before too long
