Passing Sad Daydream

Soul Asylum


If you're walking home late at night 
dressed up and alone 
dont you get tired of being white 
buffalo never roam 
go to sneak up behind you 
still your boss tapped your phone 
'cause you might be keepin secrets 
that you ain't supposed to know 
now it's about to be 
and your bus 
and the lovely miss liberty 
is just another whore 
(there's somethin I gotta tell ya) 
its hard to see things your way 
and its hard to understand the things you say 
most of all 
its hard to get hard these days 
now if you got to hate someone 
you might as well hate yourself 
you find that you dont deserve it now 
more than anyone else 
so get out of your kitchen 
and get out of your bed 
got to tell them what you've always wanted to tell them 
'cause in the morning you might be dead 
so dont call the doctor 
'cause Ill be ok 
its just a passing sad daydream 
and it led me astray 
and its hard to see things your way 
and its hard to understand the things you say 
but most of all 
its hard to get hard these days 
and I ain't proud of nothin 
but its better that way 
'cause its too loud for talkin 
and there aint much to say 
so pick up your explosives 
and pack up your gun 
if you ain't chasin someone 
you got to be on the run 
and Im so far from home now 
nothin better anyway 
I aint lookin to make a livin now 
I just need a place to stay
