lyrics

TALKIN’ TO MYSELF
Oh, they shut the video store
They ain’t selling anymore
And the people don’t come no more
They saw the sign upon the door
Oh, they shut the playground down
‘Cause the kids make too much sound
They don’t want anyone around
Who’s not cemetery-bound

I’m talkin’ to myself, it’s a tale too long to tell
But I know my subject well
Talkin’ to myself

Oh, I tried to get through to you
But you raised your forcefield to
Turn back anything that’s true
As I stand outside the zoo
And I wonder what went on
Where the carousel has gone
If there’s anything beyond
Waitin’ for another dawn

I’m talkin’ to myself, it’s a tale too long to tell
But I know my subject well
Talkin’ to myself

Oh, the rain fell all day long
The tin roof played a song
The puddles sang along
As I thought of where I once belonged
When I ran with arms outstretched
Like some poor and pitiful wretch
Dignity too far to fetch
Lost without a train to catch

I’m talkin’ to myself, it’s a tale too long to tell
But I know my subject well
Talkin’ to myself

Oh, I had a dream last night
You were fallin’ from the sky
Partly dark and partly light
The stars were in your eyes
I wondered where you were
If you’re lost or in repair
If you think about me there
Or if you even care

I’m talkin’ to myself, it’s a tale too long to tell
But I know my subject well
Talkin’ to myself
