6 A.M.
DAY AFTER CHRISTMAS
I THROW SOME
CLOTHES ON
IN THE DARK
THE SMELL OF COLD
CAR SEAT IS FREEZING
THE WORLD IS SLEEPING
I AM NUMB
UP THE STAIRS
TO HER APARTMENT
SHE IS BALLED UP
ON THE COUCH
HER MOM AND DAD
WENT DOWN TO
CHARLOTTE
THEY'RE NOT HOME
TO FIND US OUT
AND WE DRIVE
NOW THAT I HAVE
FOUND SOMEONE
I'M FEELING
MORE ALONE
THAN I EVER
HAVE BEFORE
SHE'S A BRICK AND
I'M DROWNING SLOWLY
OFF THE COAST AND
I'M HEADED NOWHERE
SHE'S A BRICK AND
I'M DROWNING SLOWLY
THEY CALL HER NAME
AT SEVEN-THIRTY
I PACE AROUND
THE PARKING LOT
THEN I WALK DOWN
TO BUY HER FLOWERS
AND SELL SOME GIFTS
THAT I GOT
CAN'T YOU SEE
IT'S NOT ME
YOU'RE DYING FOR
NOW SHE'S FEELING
MORE ALONE
THAN SHE EVER
HAS BEFORE
SHE'S A BRICK AND
I'M DROWNING SLOWLY
OFF THE COAST AND
I'M HEADED NOWHERE
SHE'S A BRICK AND
I'M DROWNING SLOWLY
AS WEEKS WENT BY
IT SHOWED THAT
SHE WAS NOT FINE
THEY TOLD ME SON
IT'S TIME TO
TELL THE TRUTH AND
SHE BROKE DOWN
AND I BROKE DOWN
'CAUSE I WAS TIRED
OF LYING
DRIVING BACK
TO HER APARTMENT
FOR THE MOMENT
WE'RE ALONE
WELL SHE'S ALONE
AND I'M ALONE
NOW I KNOW IT
SHE'S A BRICK AND
I'M DROWNING SLOWLY
OFF THE COAST AND
I'M HEADED NOWHERE
SHE'S A BRICK AND
I'M DROWNING SLOWLY
