Suffering Jukebox Lyrics - Lookout Mountain, Lookout Sea - Silver Jews

Planes on the downtown skyline is a sight to see for some 

It ought to make a few reputation in the cult of number one 

While these seconds turn these minutes into hours of the day 

All these doubles drive the dollars and the light of day away 

Suffering jukebox, such a sad machine 

You're all filled up with what other people need 

And they never seem to turn you up loud 

Got a lot of chatterboxes in this crowd 

Suffering jukebox in a happy town 

You're over in the corner breaking down 

They always seem to keep you way down low 

The people in this town don't want to know 

Well, I guess all that mad misery must make it seem true to you 

But money lights your world up, you're trapped, what can you do? 

You got Tennessee tendencies and chemical dependencies 

You make the same old jokes and malaprops on cue 

Suffering jukebox, such a sad machine 

You're all filled up with what other people need 

Hardship, damnation and guilt 

Make you wonder why you were even built 

Suffering jukebox in a happy town 

You're over in the corner breaking down 

They always seem to keep you way down low 

The people in this town don't want to know
