The Apartment

These walls will eat me if I don't get outside Seeing life through a window, a screen inside my mind Ok, I know, I'm acting like a child Re-reading Gatsby for the hundredth time We talk in circles and analyze our friends Bring up the album like it's never gonna end You work so hard you could make somebody sick Circuit board sleeping, it's your nervous tick Never know till you find it Springtime summer can I press rewind? Moving mountains, leave our past behind I turned my back on the city where I grew Can't stand old money and I can't afford the new You flip through Joyce like it was something in the Times Now you're slinging cold ones Cause they could never compensate your mind Fresh out of college and nothing more to do Neurotic burn-out and I'm only 22 Action's impossible when you're bored and alone Stain out the carpet, screaming in the hall Think about the end, death according to Saint Paul First year of marriage was gone in a flash Spent in listless day dreaming and taking out the trash
