Graham Parker & The Episodes - Haunted Episodes lyrics

I wonder what you are thinkin' under the rooftops there pullin' tangles from your hair I wonder if the water you're drinkin' comes from a purer stream The one where sunlight gleams Things round here don't get any clearer Stuff that once seemed in reach is not any nearer I wonder if that house is still standin' or did they knock it flat Well that's progress that's that I wonder who was more demanding We were just young I guess neither would settle for less Still it's not a whole life story is it It's just a page I turned and there you were in it I wonder how you are farin' not sliding down a slope takin' the knocks I hope I wonder where your eyes are starin' Not into some emptiness into someone's I guess but that still won't make things any clearer people seem to drift apart instead of getting nearer I wonder what you are doin' under the evening sky watchin' your life go by I wonder if that place is in ruins and all the doors are closed that's just the way it goes I wonder what there is worth keepin' from haunted episodes that briefly woke us from sleepin'
