On March 10, 1994 at a show at Mad Hatter’s in Ft Worth Tx (circulated through a bootleg of the show), opening the show with this song, Blake introduces it by saying “This is a new song called ‘Housesitter’. It’s about me house-sitting at our drummers house. For a month.” In typical Blake fashion,...
I lost all my thoughts of angels in an aspirin billboard
Walking down 16th street
Hit the cross street: Catatonia
I wish I had the strength to do your drugs
It must take strength
This life inside is hard to bring outside
Now you turn and cross the corner
Cold sweat, think of what's for dinner
Think I should be thinking deeper
This is your excuse to go outside
I'm sick, not hungry
Sick of people starved for love
I keep creating errands to talk to people, to talk to me
But still, nothing human
Money changes hands is all
This world's a broken record
Skipping on a call with no response
This is what you've been working towards
This punishment is your reward
After all this time, you think you'd learn
When you got your wish, bridges were burned
What are you taking so hard and why?
And are you giving anything back?
Misgiving isn't just another form of giving, is it?
You made your life, now live in it
Learning how to live without her
The one who gave you thirty chances
All of which you promptly blew
If up to you, you'd die to not offend
To not offend
