come

come away

come away from

come away from it



next to the glass ashtray

in a little plastic baggy

is a bitter rock remedy

really good stuff

but i take offense to the fact

that you're so hell bent

are you trying to tell me this world

just isn't beautiful enough?



do you want to get off?

is this your stop?

do you gotta have a tripledecker super fudge sundae

with a goddamn cherry on top?

i mean, what makes you so lavish

that you can afford

to spend every sober moment feeling angry and bored



why don't you come

come away

come away from it

why?



we used to hold hands down

those unfamiliar streets

you used to take me diving

into the watery blue deep

but now you're trying to find every tiny treasure

every shiny penny of pleasure

satisfy every selfish purpose

before you swim back up to the surface



why don't you come

come away

come away from it



you think that i just don't like it anymore

but i'll tell you what i don't like

i don't like that i had to put the training wheels

back onto your bike

and i don't like the extravagance

or the way you taste when i kiss you

i don't like being left alone

baby, don't you think i miss you?



why don't you come

come away

come away from it

why?
