Lyrics
Verse 1:
Out here the sun always it'll shine,
Though this here it ain't California,
No, I'm still feeling fine, yeah just right, yeah just right . . .
Where the people still get up every morning 10 till 5,
And the man might spend all day trying to conform 'em
Yeah, this is where I never get anything straight in my mind,
Not anytime,
No, I just keep it contorted, Oh yeah all day contorted,
Where the defendant's still talk about their cheap alibis,
But never get decent lawyers, oh no,
Not right here on death row they don't.
Where everyone is doing a sale, right now they're trying to buy
Where they show programs in re-runs, just like mammograms
In portion, yeah just like mammograms in portions
This is where the sun and the moon, they collide
Where we are all having abortions, all day,
Every day in fact,
Oh well.
Chorus:
There went my everything, There went my focus
You were the silhouette, that would always provoke it
Cos with you, you said I'd never be hopeless
But now I lay without you, and I seldom if every go dopeless
Oh no I never go dopeless, No, no, we don't forget this,
Yeah, yeah we all regret it.
Verse 2:
Go on home, would you please,
Cos she's alone, she feels this each and every night
No I gotta big fat kind solution on my mind
And see all you ever do is say now that I'm always way too late,
But I know, just where it is I provide,
All them things, that you need
I'm out thinkin', you don't need me
No you don't need me, you say no, no, no . . .
Chorus:
There went my everything, There went my focus
You were the silhouette, that would always provoke it
You know you'd always provoke it,
Cos with you, you said I'd never be hopeless
But now I lay without you, and I seldom if every go dopeless
Oh no I never go dopeless, Oh no, no,
No, no, we don't forget this,
Yeah, yeah we all regret it.
Say forget it . .
Verse 3:
Go on home, would you please.
Cos she's alone, she feels it each and every night
Now I got a big fat cocaine rocket on my mind,
And see all I ever do is say, that there is problems
I can't take, but I know, I go ahead and solve them
Every time, when I put this right here, right here
Into perspective, and I go ahead and let you on down,
Cos I'll be everything you ever want,
Oh yeah, everything you ever need, But I won't,
Oh no I won't be around.
Yeah, on your knees, on the ground,
On your knees, on the ground,
On your knees, on your knees.
