Yo La Tengo - Don't Say a Word (Hot Chicken #2) lyrics

I try not to let it get above me

Don’t make me

Don’t hurt me

Don’t push me

Don’t confront me

I try to separate real from unreal

Don’t make me have to open my eyes

Don’t make me have to feel

Crime lights burning like a halo

Sidewalk under my feet

Passing trains below

I keep walking with nothing in my head

Where am I going?

Some nights I walk mile after mile after mile

I need you I need you I want to smile at your smile

Are you out there somewhere looking

Waiting for me?

I’m falling fast fallingfalling broken

Reach out and catch me

The city’s in my blood like a curse

And the people and the noise make it worse

I can’t tell you why there’s no place I’d rather be

Where am I going?

Dirty grey city dropping rain down in my dreams

No one knows me

So when you see me

Just walk on by

I’m caving in and I don’t know why

There’s got to be more than this but I just can’t find it

I’m wandering in a city

Unknown to myself

A stranger to everyone I meet

I’m wasted on insomnia

Paranoid to the hilt

Where am I going?
