Lyrics
"I'll Be Dead When I Get Home"
You might ask, why I'm alone
She dropped me off, and went on home.
And I don't know, if you could see
Just left me here, won't talk to me.
There must be someone, a person I can talk to
That comprehends and understands these things.
I guess I said something wrong
And I'll be dead, when I get home.
And now I sit, right here today.
The reason why, I cannot say.
I suspect, that something's wrong.
But I don't know, just what I've done.
There must be someone, a person I can talk to
That comprehends and understands these things.
I guess I said something wrong
And I'll be dead, when I get home.
I think I'll go, and take a walk.
We could sit down, maybe we'll talk.
I still need someone, a person I can talk to
And tolerate a person like me.
I should leave now, just get on home.
Just what I did, I just don't know.
And you can see this on my face.
You know I've come, to learn my place.
There must be someone, a person I can talk to
That comprehends and understands these things.
I guess I said something wrong
And I'll be dead, when I get home.
Guess I said something wrong and I'll be dead.......it won't be long.
Backing vocals (last verse):
I should get up now.
Get on home somehow.
What I don't know now.
Reason I am down.
I should get on home.
Where I have to go.
Things I just should know.
Place is down below.
