Second Floor East Songtext
von Screeching Weasel

She falls asleep the same way every night
She dreams a new world in the TV light
She′s lonely, she's tired, she′s lonely, she's crying
It makes her feel like something's going on
It makes her feel like people are around
To tell her she′s alright, to keep out, keep out the night
She wonders why she feels this way
She wonders if she′ll ever be okay

There's nothing she can laugh about
No anthem for a new tomorrow
It got over a long time ago
Now no one wants to hear about it, no


She thinks about how everybody smiles
But no one ever seems to have the time
To ever stop and try to think, to ever crack a little bit
She knows that someday, things are gonna change
Things′ll get a little better, but
It just seems like every day
It slips a little more in place
It should feel good to be alive

The world keeps dropping back, but she's still trying

She leaves the TV on at night

So she won′t have to keep on crawling back inside

Inside herself, inside herself, inside herself, inside herself

Inside herself, inside herself, inside herself, inside herself

Inside herself, inside herself, inside herself, inside herself
Inside herself, inside herself, inside herself, inside herself
Inside herself, inside herself, inside herself, inside herself
Inside herself, inside herself, inside herself, inside herself
Inside herself, inside herself, inside herself, inside herself
Inside herself, inside herself, inside herself, inside herself
Inside herself, inside herself, inside herself, inside herself
Inside herself, inside herself, inside herself, inside herself
Inside herself, inside herself, inside herself, inside herself
Inside herself, inside herself, inside herself, inside herself
