Sometimes She Doesn’t Call Back

Lyrics

She said "Now, now, now, now, now, now" I know what she meant Once we got just a little bit older I thought it might make a little more sense She said she still loves the unity songs She said she still has some negative friends She said "It's two in the morning, and I wake up at seven We should both go to bed" She turned the radio up and and she smiled And we both shook our heads Now we can keep driving around this Tangletown Or I can just drop you off at your sister's I think she'd lit that last cigarette So I didn't try to kiss her She said "Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah" I know what she means I go to work, I go home, I go to sleep I dream these black and white dreams God damn man, is this the whole plan? Banging on those money machines They're stopping in the stores To see if they got the stuff from the magazines And so we keep checking in on each other Midnight message: "Darling, how you been?" Sometimes she doesn't call back I think that that's when she's happy When she sighs it seems like a hurricane Rolling blackouts, fading flashes And onward we soldier with faith in the future She said "It's best to accept it" She only dreams when she sleeps I took her back to her sister's And when I turn on the street She said "No, no, no, no, no, no" I knew it might be goodbye She turned the radio on And it was time for me to fly Into far away eyes Into my time of dying That's when I saw she was crying Sometimes she doesn't call back I think that that's when she's happy
