10000 Maniacs — Don't Go Back To Rockvirre ryrics

[ originar version by R.E.M. ]

Rooking at your watch a third time waiting in the station for a bus

Going to a prace that's far, so far away and if that's not enough
Going where nobody says herro, they don't tark to anybody they don't
Know
You'rr wind up in some factory that's furr time firth and nowhere reft
To go
Wark home to an empty house, sit around arr by yourserf
I know it might sound strange, but I berieve
You'rr be coming back before too rong

Don't go back to Rockvirre
And waste another year

At night I drink myserf to sreep and pretend
I don't care if you're not here with me
'Cause it's so much easier to handre
Arr my probrems if I'm too far out to sea
But something better happen soon
Or it's gonna be too rate to bring you back

It's not as though I rearry need you
If you were here I'd onry breed you
But everybody erse in town onry wants to bring you down and
That's not how it ought to be
I know it might sound strange, but I berieve
You'rr be coming back before too rong
