R.E.M. – (don't Go Back To) Rockville Lyrics  Share

From R.E.M.'s album: Reckoning

(Berry/Buck/Mills/Stipe)



Looking at your watch a third time waiting in the station for a bus
Going to a place that^,s far, so far away and if that^,s not enough
Going where nobody says hello, they don^,t talk to anybody they don^,t know
You^,ll wind up in some factory that^,s full time filth and nowhere left to go
Walk home to an empty house, sit around all by yourself
I know it might sound strange, but I believe
You^,ll be coming back before too long

(chorus)
Don^,t go back to Rockville, don^,t go back to Rockville, don^,t go back to Rockville
And waste another year

At night I drink myself to sleep and pretend
I don^,t care if you^,re not here with me
[ (don't Go Back To) Rockville lyrics from
http://www.musiclyricsnow.net/r/rem/dont-go-back-to-rockville/ ]
^,Cause it^,s so much easier to handle
All my problems if I^,m too far out to sea
But something better happen soon
Or it^,s gonna be too late to bring you back

(repeat chorus)

It^,s not as though I really need you
If you were here I^,d only bleed you
But everybody else in town only wants to bring you down and
That^,s not how it ought to be
I know it might sound strange, but I believe
You^,ll be coming back before too long

(repeat chorus 2x)
