Read the papers

Read the papers, and the thought’s still living
Went to work and things did work out right
Im aware it isnt’ me who’s giving
im aware that if i would i might

Spend the morning trying to recover
unpleasant night, i should have spent alone
but i happen to be with another
lying waitin for the dawn to come

Theres noone here to find a reason
theres noone here to put i right
we face the coming of a season
and the papers are callin

I thought that things would change and would get better
but nothings changed at all since we arrived
we’re not conscious when we are together
sometimes i wonder if were still alive

wonder why there never was a motion
wonder why the time is standing still
maybe start anew with fresh emotion
i guess i could but i dont think i will

Theres noone here to find a reason
theres noone here to put i right
we face the coming of a season
and the papers are callin

And slowly growing
we memorize
our former habits
as tears run dry
no collapsse we just ran dry
well, no collapse we just ran dry

wonder why there never was a motion
wonder why the time is standing still
maybe start anew with fresh emotion
i guess i could but i dont think i will
