 FRIDAY AVENUE (MATT'S E-MAIL LAMENT) Copyright 2000 by Adam Selzer, All Rights Reserved, ASCAP
Sorry if I seem a little out of it tonight It's 2 am I just got back from work Been pulling the late shift at the comic book shop Every single night this week, but the work's not so bad All I've gotta do is talk to 14 year olds I can go out and smoke every couple of hours And all of the friends I ever had are gone now But I printed up your picture and I put it on my wall Lonely all the way down 70th street Lonely out near my old school Lonely in the furniture department at Sears Lonely on Friday Avenue Even went down to the bus station today Since I know that my car would never make it that far But all I had in my pocket was an old train ticket From back last November when I was in Chicago So I went to my car, and I turned up the radio To hear all the guitars on KGGO And I called them from a payphone to ask them to play a song by that band you're always talking about Lonely back behind Comics Castle Lonely in that free gaming room Lonely buying sandwiches for a dollar at the Quick Trip Lonely on Friday Avenue The last time Jenny dumped me last year Went to live with that guy over in the Randolph hotel I never thought I'd ever feel this way again But now that I met you, well, all of that's changed Never wish I was Mickey Mantle, never wish I was Dave Mustaine But they're lonely on Tanglewood Parkway Lonely four miles from home Lonely when they're trying to get their cars to start up Lonely waist deep in the dirty old snow Lonely on in the taxis on Lake Street Lonely out on Van Buren, too They're lonely on every corner back in Cornersville Trace Lonely on Friday Avenue (repeat) 12/00 Copyright 2000 by Adam Selzer, all rights reserved, ASCAP. |
