There's an empty sound around As I put on my boots and go outside There's an itch there but I can't scratch it And walking through the park A couple guys staring me down What they're looking for, they ain't gonna find it I'm crossing the boulevard Then sliding down a side street I know it well but I don't like it There goes a little kid I know that look he's got He's going home not knowing why he did what he did. Me, I'm waiting on my train To come around, and pick me up again That train's gonna show me The middle's not the end
I'm taking the long way round And pa**ing by my old school It's looking old and rained on Just there ‘cross the street There's a girl I used to know But now we're both looking the other way And me, I'm waiting on my train To come around, and pick me up again That train's gonna show me The middle's not the end I'm spitting in the shadows And weeding out the moon While these street lights blow their light on me I'm kickin' time And I gotta go, I can help but see I've been wasting mine
