These lyrics seem to relate to death, with the songwriter or a fictional protagonist grappling with loneliness (“Lonely in the city tonight”), confusion (“Ours is not to question why”), worldly posessions (“Nobody gives a fuck what you’ve got”), anger (“Bastard, mother, father, no…”), and the afterl...
[Not One of the Better Days]
Nighttime, turn around
Lonely is the city tonight
Nighttime, all around
Lonely in the city tonight
Grey people stare at a static sky (as you will)
Ours is not to question why
Same thing, every time
It always seems to need what I'm not
To all the hopeful ones:
Nobody gives a fuck what you've got
I only wish that I could pray to God (but you will)
Stay longer
Please don't leave me alone
Bastard, mother, father, no...
Time passed quicker than you will ever know
And they can push me harder
But you know I'll never go
And they will justify it, but you know
It will take them slow
Bastard, mother, father, no...
Time passed quicker than you will ever know
And they can push me harder
But you know I'll never go
And they will justify it, but you know
It will take them slow
[The Girl from Blue City]
The lights from across the harbor
And the boys are out on the corners
Sex in the neon basements (red and smelly)
And don't feel a thing (it's too cold to worry)
So in the corner by the dock where there's no light
It smells like piss but no one knows
And right now just to sleep would be alright
Feel old, gone where the feelings go
Gone now in a field of green
Gone where feelings go...
