(Don't Go Back To) Rockville (Live)

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

Going to a place that's far, so far away and if that's not enough

Going where nobody says hello, they don't talk to anybody they don't know

You'll wind up in some factory that's full-time filth and nowhere left to go

Walk home to an empty house, sit around all by yourself

I know it might sound strange, but I believe you'll be coming back before too long

Don't go back to Rockville

Don't go back to Rockville

Don't go back to Rockville

And waste another year

At night, I drink myself to sleep and pretend I don't care that you're not here with me

'Cause it's so much easier to handle all my problems if I'm too far out to sea

But something better happen soon or it's gonna be too late to bring you back

Don't go back to Rockville

Don't go back to Rockville

Don't go back to Rockville

And waste another year

It's not as though I really need you

If you were here, I'd only bleed you

But everybody else in town only wants to bring you down and that's not how it ought to be

Well, I know it might sound strange, but I believe you'll be coming back before too long

Don't go back to Rockville

Don't go back to Rockville

Don't go back to Rockville

And waste another year

Don't go back to Rockville

Don't go back to Rockville

Don't go back to Rockville

And waste another year
