1
For sixteen days, I've stayed in this bedroom
2
And this Indian Summer, It's made me sick
3
I don't use the phone, I don't write no letters
4
All I can do is lay here and sweat
5
And this wretched house, It falls down around me
6
The air has turned foul, the walls have turned brown
7
And they rot in the glow of a single light bulb
8
Once there was paint, now there's just dust
9
And I don't know why I'm kept a prisoner here
10
But there's no fear in these eyes
11
And I don't know why no one talks to me
12
But it's so clear when you try ...
13
She had grace, and a natural beauty
14
She was a girl raised on a farm
15
A constant source of disappointment
16
To both of her folks, and they don't know why
17
'Cause she had a love for a life she suspected
18
Lay somewhere else, beyond these crops
19
But she couldn't speak, and they wouldn't listen
20
So her dreams lay fallow and hope turned to dust
21
And I don't know why I'm kept a prisoner here
22
But there's no fear in these eyes
23
And I don't know why no one talks to me
24
But it's so clear when you try ...
25
We sit in the yard, on broken-down loungers
26
Tryin' to grill food on a rusted out grill
27
Drinkin' a beer and burnin' our fingers
28
Watching the dog pee on the car
29
And the trees all look sick now and the grass has turned brown
30
And the bird bath's broken, and the fence fallen down
31
And the gate, it hangs crooked on rusted out hinges
32
And the heat never leaves when the sun sinks down
33
And once we had meaning, but now, we're just hollow
34
Once we felt pain, but now we're just numb
35
Once there were words, but now there's just glances
36
And once we were smart but now we're just dumb ...
37
just dumb
38
And I don't know why I'm kept a prisoner here
39
But there's no fear in these eyes
40
And I don't know why no one talks to me
41
But it's so clear when you try ...
