lyrics

Summer rises, Summer sets
but all it's wisdom we forget
when winter blows it's cold on you
and covers you with snow
oh, and
when the spring-night flowers jade
and nothing's left but the mess I've made
I know you must be getting tired of me
so, where's there left to go?
so…i know
it's for the best
that you go
and take a rest
close your eyes and drift at sea
and take a rest from me

nothing much you haven't seen
busted, stalker, gasoline
key scratched your TV screen
so I could get in “deep”
oh and
when the campus police crashed
thought to have you flush the stash
never thought I’d be leaving you
without a place to sleep!
so…i know
it's for the best
that you go
and take a rest
close your eyes and drift at sea
and take a rest from me

Then down deep in the subway hole
I found the will I thought you stole
till my best friend ripped me off
and blamed it on the rent (man!)
then ended up at Geraldeans
where i pissed on that TV screen
so she boiled my belt in oil
as just recompense
So, you know
I'm so depressed
I should go (with you)
and take a rest
close our eyes and drift at sea
and take a rest from me....alright now...

(BREAK)

Summer rises, Summer sets
but all it's wisdom we forget
when winter blows it's cold on you
and covers you with snow
oh, and
when the spring night flowers jade
and nothing's left but the mess I've made
I know you must get tired of me
what's there left to say ?
I know
i made such a mess
I should blow
up this dirty nest
and close my eyes and drift at sea
and take a rest from me
