lyrics

TERMINAL CITY

Don’t have no funny, sunny song to help you on your way
Don’t have no funny, sunny song to help you on your way
Just got this tiny point to make like a needle in a stack of hay

Doctor said I got adjustment problems,
said she’d help me see them through
Doctor said I got adjustment problems,
said she’d help me see them through
With one hand she pointed at me,
with the other hand she pointed at what I had to get adjusted to

Down in Terminal City I nearly died of thirst
Down in Terminal City I nearly died of thirst
Each one was killin’ the thing they loved
before it had a chance to kill them first

Why’d they go to the trouble of stealin’,
why’d they set themselves such a heavy task?
Why’d they go to the trouble of stealin’,
why’d they set themselves such a heavy task?
When everything that they took from me
I’d have gladly given them if they only would’ve asked

Somehow I just don’t trust his heart,
but then again neither does he
Somehow I just don’t trust his heart,
but then again neither does he
He don’t care who he is at all, only how others imagine him to be

I’d hate to be you, honey,
on the day you realize what you’ve done
I’d hate to be you, honey,
on the day you realize what you’ve done
God gave you five senses
but you only ever learned to use but one

I was lucky to get out of there alive,
much less with a fork and a spoon and a cup
I was lucky to get out of there alive,
much less with a fork and a spoon and a cup
Next time I will remember
always lay one thing down before you try to pick another one up

Don’t have no funny, sunny song to help you on your way
Don’t have no funny, sunny song to help you on your way
Just got this tiny point to make like a needle in a stack of hay
