You shove your way
Through the room from the street
And finally to me
You ask me what I'm drinking
My friend Johnny
Tugging on my sleeve
Asks if I want to leave
But what I'm really thinking is
Why can't it be easy, easy?
Why don't you leave, leave me, leave me be?
I can see you swaying
I can't hear what you're saying
I'm sitting here stuck
And plastered to my seat
I think up a reason to leave
When you finally stop speaking
I'll take a long slow walk
Down Washington Street
Half-asleep on my feet
Half-aware if I'm dreaming
I'll go home alone
A sinking stone
A switched-off telephone
I'll go on and be free
A frozen breeze
A fallen-down factory
But I still see you swaying
And I can't hear what you're saying
Through the room from the street
And finally to me
You ask me what I'm drinking
My friend Johnny
Tugging on my sleeve
Asks if I want to leave
But what I'm really thinking is
Why can't it be easy, easy?
Why don't you leave, leave me, leave me be?
I can see you swaying
I can't hear what you're saying
I'm sitting here stuck
And plastered to my seat
I think up a reason to leave
When you finally stop speaking
I'll take a long slow walk
Down Washington Street
Half-asleep on my feet
Half-aware if I'm dreaming
I'll go home alone
A sinking stone
A switched-off telephone
I'll go on and be free
A frozen breeze
A fallen-down factory
But I still see you swaying
And I can't hear what you're saying
