Uncle Tupelo - Flatness lyrics

rate me

Beer makes you weary

But you need something to get along

You stare at the flatness

Beside the dark home

They'll not hear you whisper

This isn't where it ends

Your hand holds the bottle

That has become your last and only friend

I've lost all hope

There's hope for you

If not just in the possibility

Of a better next day

If not just in the simple fact

There's no other way

You lie on that couch

And try to dream once more

But your only goal is to sleep

Until the news is over

And outside the leaves are all changing

But you drink to forget

Someone you once met

Stands blocking the bright orange sunset

I've lost all hope

There's hope for you

If not just in the possibility

Of a better next day

If not just in the simple fact

There's no other way

So open up those curtains

And drink up the daylight

Just by the brightness

Open your doors wide

'Cause things don't get better

But some people do

There's darkness in this life

But the brighter side we also may view

There's darkness in this life

But the brighter side we also may view
