[Verse 1]
Came to the door, but she wouldn't see me
So I turned away to leave
She leaned out the window and said, "Where ya goin'?"
Now I have no time to grieve
[Verse 2]
And as I pushed my foot to the pedal
I was driving much too fast
Rain comin' down and I couldn't see much
Now I have no time to grieve
[Chorus]
Now you're right all the time
And I'm just oblivious
I'd rather stay in bed with you
'Til it's time to get a drink
[Verse 1]
Came to the door, but she wouldn't see me
So I turned away to leave
She leaned out the window and said, "Where ya goin'?"
Now I have no time to grieve
[Chorus]
And now you're right all the time
And I'm just oblivious
I'd rather stay in bed with you
'Til it's time to get a drink
[Outro]
(Go get the ventilator)
Oblivious was written by Galaxie 500.
Oblivious was produced by Kramer.
Dean Wareham:
Kramer got me to sing some high backing vocals on the first album; on “Oblivious” he slowed the tape down so I could hit the note. I sound like a chipmunk.
