Unbearable Afternoon

lyrics

Unbearable afternoon
Here comes the smell of the barbecue
And there’s a solar storm that throws her off this connected orb
And there’s no need to pack souvenirs from the cul-de-sac
And no one needs to know that she ever called this place home
ch:
If there’s a way off this lake, not just once but forever
Far past these walls of candle-faded posters
All her friends have moved away to the dirty street’s bouquet
Cigarettes and cabernet await her new life

No one's’ feelings matter, and no one she knows is on TV
And if it's not in the paper it's not really going down this week
The kids shoot hoop in the driveway, the laundry dries out on the line
The lawnmowers drone in the distance, the longest day won't make up its mind

Rpt ch. Solo
If there’s a way off this lake, not just once but forever
Far past these walls of candle-faded posters
All her friends have moved away to the dirty street’s bouquet
Where those dirty rock bands play
Did she hear her mama say , you’ll just waste your life away
On Cigarettes and cabernet but its her life
