lyrics

CLOSED FOR REPAIRS
NOTHING TO OPEN, NOTHING TO CLOSE
NOTHING THAT NOBODY DON’T ALREADY KNOW
I’VE GOT NOBODY AND NOBODY KNOWS
NOTHING TO OPEN AND NOTHING TO CLOSE

NO INVITATION, NO WAY TO ATTEND
AND NO WAY TO GET THERE AND NO MEANS TO AN END
I NEVER EXPECTED TO ARRIVE ANYWHERE
I AM TOO RECKLESS AND TOO HELPLESS TO CARE

PLEASE TELL MY MOTHER I’LL BE BACK IN THE FALL
DON’T TELL HER I AM GONE
FOR GOOD, FOR BAD, FOR ONCE AND FOR ALL

I’VE GOT NO DIRECTION, NO PLANS TO SUCCEED
A HALF LIFE OF KNICK KNACKS I CAN’T SEEM TO LEAVE
I CAN’T REMEMBER IF I WAS EVER WELL
IT SEEMS LIKE THE ENDING AND I NEVER CAN TELL

NOTHING IS OPEN, NO BAR DOWN THE BLOCK
AND NO ONE TO DRINK WITH THAT AIN’T ALREADY SLOSHED
THE MORNING IS MARCHING, I’M PLUGGING MY EARS
TODAY IS A DAY AND THEN IT’S A YEAR

I’VE GOT NO DIRECTION, NO PLANS TO SUCCEED
A HALF LIFE OF KNICK KNACKS I CAN’T SEEM TO LEAVE
I CAN’T REMEMBER IF I WAS EVER WELL
WELL, IT SEEMS LIKE THE ENDING, IT SEEMS LIKE THE ENDING,
IT SEEMS LIKE THE ENDING AND I NEVER CAN TELL
