lyrics

Dolores, I don’t want to see you today
I want to get something done; I want to eat real food
Dolores, please wait in the small room backstage
I want to sing purposeful songs; I do not want to brood
I’m rather not in the mood

LA only taught me to give up and drive away
When I asked her to help me grow up and start my life off well
Drive to give my lies a few hours or a day, or a week, month, or year,
To take shape and take the place of what is actual
I’d rather not recall too well

But here we travel mostly by train and it feels more honest
There are tickets and schedules and commuters you don’t want to bug
But Dolores, she followed me here and she made such a grand mess
She seemed to have no trouble switching from hot dust to cold sludge

Dolores, why’d you have to give me this tattoo?
I want to get it laser removed; I want my skin brand new,
But Dolores, I think that I will keep this poisoned wound,
If for no other purpose than reminding me of you
I’m rather tired, but I’ll stay true—
‘Cause I’m rather often not in the mood
