Cold Canyon Lyrics - The Blind Leading The Naked - Violent Femmes

Travel 'round the country 

Look out for what I can get 

Another blessed highway 

Hey mister you're gonna regret 

'Cause you just reminded me of something 

I long to forget 

But no matter how much he drink or smoke 

My memory's still clear 

It hurts me dear 

It's sharp today like it was yesterday 

No I don't have much hope 

Just the other night I came 

Face to face with my past 

Came down like a lightning bolt 

Struck me with a flash 

I was praying all along 

That it would not last 

Oh stop it stop it stop it stop it 

Y'know the last time you rang 

I nearly died I almost cried 

I put my pride in my pockets 

And said you gotta stay cool cool cool 

Y'know some things just gotta hang 

Oh Lord Lord 

Take me back 

I'm going back 

The long track 

So do yourself a favor 

And leave me if you please 

I'm in a cold cold canyon 

With a cold cold canyon breeze 

Woke up in a strange room 

And then I saw a door 

I went right over and opened it 

Though I'd never been there before 

Started presiding over the meeting 

The chairman said I had the floor 

And when we adjourned everyone 

Was satisfied 

We all got our money 

Then went out where it was sunny 

But it was kind of funny 

To find out that I was such a dummy 

But there's no place you can really hide
