I know a girl laying down
She’s sleeping weeks at a time
When she wakes up she watches tv,
counting cracks in the ceiling.
No I don’t know what she’s thinking,
so I gave up waiting for someone waiting,
talking to someone staring.
I never come around
I never come around
I left her for 15 years behind
girls laying down
never come around
So much for girls staying in,
afraid of being needed and seen,
she watches the world on a screen
she’s distant
God knows I’ve tried to leave her
Cause she’s got a constant fever
I let it slip my mind
I never come around
I never come around
I left her 15 years behind
Girls laying down
Never come around
I know a girl laying down
No, I never waisted my time
We have something in common
She’s as indifferent as I am.
