You shove your way   Through the room from the street   And finally to me   You ask me what I'm drinking      My friend Johnny   Tugging on my sleeve   Asks if I wanna leave   But what I'm really thinking is      Why can't it be easy, easy?   Why don't you leave   Leave me, leave me be?      I can see you swaying   I can't hear what you're saying      I'm sitting here stuck   And plastered to my seat   I think up a reason to leave   When you finally stop speaking      I'll take a long slow   Walk down Washington Street   Half asleep on my feet   Half aware if I'm dreaming      I'll go home alone, a sinking stone   A switched off telephone   I'll go on, be free, a frozen breeze   A fallen down factory      But I still see you swaying   And I can't hear what you're saying      I just lost the plot, got a little caught   In a little knot   I just hit a wall had a little fall   Felt the swinging wrecking ball      And why should that be?   Why don't you tell me?   Why don't you tell me?   I'm sure you'll tell me   Why don't you tell me?   I guess you'll tell me, tell me
