She sat right down on the sofa I said, "Where have you been? I've been waiting for you. 'Cause last night I had something so good These days get so long and I got nothing to do" I been hangin' around this town on the corner I been bummin' around this old town so long I been hangin' around this town on the corner I been bummin' around this old town for way too long We spend all day getting sober Just hiding from daylight Watching TV We just look a lot better in the blue light Well, you know I gotta get out But I'm stuck so tight Weighed by the chains that keep me... Hangin' around this town on the corner I been bummin' around this old town too long I been hangin' around this town on the corner I been bummin' around this old town for way too long And this girl listens to the band play She says "Where have you been? I've been lyin' right here on the floor" Well, I got all this time To be waiting for what is mine To be hating what I am After the light has faded Hangin' around this town on the corner I been bummin' around this old town so long I been hangin' around this town on the corner I been bummin' around this old town for way, way, way, way, way too long I Hangin' around this town on the corner I been bummin' around this old town too long I been hangin' around this town on the corner I been bummin' around this old town for way way, way, way, way too long Way way, way, way, way too long Way way, way, way, way too long Way way, way, way, way too long Way way, way, way, way too long Way way, way, way, way too long Way way, way, way, way too long
