Queers - Hi mom, it's me lyrics

The only thing worse than bad memories

Is no memories at all

From the age of 20 to 22 I had five friends

None of whose names I can recall

And as I would walk down K Street to some temping job

As winter froze the life out of fall

Yeah, I must've been having a ball

Different scene outside your window now

Same VCR, same cats

Different people at the very same job

Similar alley, different rats

The trash goes out on a Tuesday now

You got to make a note about that

Yeah, this time you're where it's at

You can't say it but I know that it's in there

You don't know it but I know that you're scared

Obvious and lonely—a spider in the snow

Now you find the very same pit still yawns

Deep down within the very same gut

The very same ghosts still seem to haunt you down

Down those lines you always tried to cut

You thought you just might need a little change

And now you find you got nothing but

How can a body move the speed of light

And still find itself in such a rut?

You can't say it but I know that it's in there

You don't know it but I know that you're scared

Obvious and lonely—afraid to not let go

You can't say it but I know it's in there

You don't know it but I know that you're scared

Obvious and lonely—a spider in the snow
