I get the strangest feeling you belong Why does it always rain on me? Is it because I lied when I was seventeen? Why does it always rain on me? Even when the sun is shining I can't avoid the lightning I can't stand myself I'm being held up by an invisible man Still life on a shelf when I got my mind on something else Sunny days Where have you gone? I get the strangest feeling you belong Why does it always rain on me? Is it because I lied when I was seventeen? Why does it always rain on me? Even when the sun is shining I can't avoid the lightning Oh, where did the blue skies go? And why is it raining so? It's so cold I can't sleep tonight Everybody's saying everything's all right Still I can't close my eyes I'm seeing a tunnel at the end of the lights Sunny days Where have you gone? I get the strangest feeling you belong Why does it always rain on me? Is it because I lied when I was seventeen? Even when the sun is shining I can't avoid the lightning Oh, where did the blue skies go? And why is it raining so? It's so cold Why does it always rain on me? Why does it always rain on....

Call me a name and I'll hit you again You're a slut, you're a bitch, you're a whore Talk to your daddy in that tone of voice There's a belt hanging over the door So you run to your room and you hide in your room Thinking how you can settle the score But it's Saturday night and a quarter to six And your friends are all out But you live in the sticks Still they never call you No they never call you No they never call, never call, never bloody ever call Blue flashing light last Saturday night Brought the neighbours all out on the street Watched as the firemen carried you out Then we stared at each other's feet Now everyone sees and yet nobody says Are we all just afraid of the heat? But it's Saturday night and I'm lying alone In the bed that I made, disconnected the phone Still they never called you No they never call you No they never call, never call, never bloody ever call Travis Index |
