Flatness - Uncle Tupelo

Beer makes you weary

But you need something to get along

As you stare at the flatness

Beside your dark home

They’ll not hear you whisper

«This isn’t where it ends»

Your hand holds the bottle

Which has become your last

And only friend

And 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 leaves are all changing

But you drink to forget

Someone you once met

Stands blocking the bright orange sunset

And 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 door 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
