Cold Canyon

Violent Femmes

Look out for what I can get 
Another blessed highway 
Hey mister you're gonna regret 
'Cause you just reminded me of something 
I long to forget 
But no matter how much he drink or smoke 
My memory's still clear 
It hurts me dear 
It's sharp today like it was yesterday 
No I don't have much hope 
Just the other night I came 
Face to face with my past 
Came down like a lightning bolt 
Struck me with a flash 
I was praying all along 
That it would not last 
Oh stop it stop it stop it stop it 
Y'know the last time you rang 
I nearly died I almost cried 
I put my pride in my pockets 
And said you gotta stay cool cool cool 
Y'know some things just gotta hang 
Oh Lord Lord 
Take me back 
I'm going back 
The long track 
So do yourself a favor 
And leave me if you please 
I'm in a cold cold canyon 
With a cold cold canyon breeze 
Woke up in a strange room 
And then I saw a door 
I went right over and opened it 
Though I'd never been there before 
Started presiding over the meeting 
The chairman said I had the floor 
And when we adjourned everyone 
was satisfied 
We all got our money 
Then went out where it was sunny 
But it was kind of funny 
To find out that I was such a dummy 
But there's no place you can really hide
