Sittin' in the mornin' sun
I'll be sittin' when the evenin' come
Watching the ships roll in
And then I watch 'em roll away again, yeah
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Ooo, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the 'Frisco bay
'Cause I've had nothing to live for
And look like nothin's gonna come my way
So I'm just gonna sit on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Ooo, I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
Look like nothing's gonna change
Everything still remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I'll remain the same, yes
Sittin' here resting my bones
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
It's two thousand miles I roamed
Just to make this dock my home
Now, I'm just gonna sit at the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Oooo-wee, sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
(Whistle)
I heard you crying loud
All the way across town
'Cause you been searching for that someone
And it's me out on the prowl
As you sit around feeling sorry for yourself
Well, don't get lonely now
And dry your whining eyes
I'm just roaming for the moment
Sleazin' my back yard so don't get
So uptight you been thinking about ditching me
No time to search the world around
'Cause you know where I'll be found
When I come around
Well, I heard it all before
So don't knock down my door
I'm a loser and a user so I don't need no accuser
To try and slag me down because I know you're right
So go do what you like
Make sure you do it wise
You may find out that your self-doubt means nothing
Was ever there
You can't go forcing something
If it's just not right
No time to search the world around
'Cause you know where I'll be found
When I come around
No time to search the world around
'Cause you know where I'll be found
When I come around
When I come around...
The useless drag of another day
The endless drags of a death rock boy
Mascara sure and lipstick lost
Glitter burned by restless thoughts
Of being forgotten
And in your sad machines
You’ll forever stay
Desperate and displeased - with whoever you are
And you’re a star
Somewhere - he pulls his hair down - over a frowning smile
A hidden diamond you cannot find
A secret star that cannot shine over to you
May the king of gloom be forever doomed
And in your sad machines
You’ll forever stay
Burning up in speed
Lost inside your dreams, of teen machines
The useless drags, the empty days
The lonely towers of long mistakes
To forgotten faces and faded loves
Sitting still was never enough
And if you’re giving in, you’re giving up
’cause in your sad machines
You’ll forever stay
Burning up in speed
Lost inside the dreams, of teen machines
Stuck a pin in your backbone
Spoke it down from there
All I ever wanted was to be your spine
Lost your friction and you slid for a mile
Overdone, overdrive, overlive, override
You're not the one who let me down
But thanks for offering
It's not a voice and I'm not around
But thanks for picking it
Up, on the radio
Sampled your rust from a faucet, I know
I've got a magnet in my head
A magnet in my head
Extra thick, extra long, the way it was wasted
And there's a chance that things'll get weird
Yeah, that's a possibility
Although I didn't do anything
No, I didn't do anything
All I ever wanted
All I ever wanted
All I ever wanted was to be your spine
(Repeat)
And a mouth kept shut and a tongue twist tie
You're the web in front, you're the favorite lie
You're a buck my lip, you're a lash my lie
You're the web in front of a favorite lie
Stuck a pin in your backbone
Spoke it down from there
All I ever wanted was to be your spine
I've got a magnet in my head, a magnet in my head
Extra thick, extra long, the way it was wasted... wasted
