And again she shows up Later than she thought she would Knocking reticently soft As she speaks, she's trying not to cry And I help her as she's shaking her coat off ‘Nothing is beautiful', she said ‘And no one is ever who they seem I drove around this town for hours Screaming curses at the road But it's 10 o'clock, the church is closed And I stopped and set amongst the flowers.' [Pre-Chorus] And I don't give a damn if they call the cops They never do anything anyway, anyway I try to stay on a straight line home She said ‘Do you want to touch me? You want to be close? You want to feel something that seems real?' Well I just want to feel whole I want to be golden, I should go [Chorus] But it's alright I'll walk home tonight I'm going to skip all the traffic lights It's alright I'll walk home tonight I'm going to skip all the traffic lights And again I show up, drunk and stumbling And make my way to the front door I have always loved more than I have ever shown with my hands And I can't give her what she asked for But she humors me and lets me in And I said ‘I don't know where I've been I wandered up and down the highway Stopped at that store across the (deuce?) And I bought some cigarettes and booze And the clerk was staring at me sideways.' [Pre-Chorus] And I don't give a damn if they call the cops They never do anything anyway, anyway I try to stay on a straight line home I said ‘Do you want to touch me? You want to be close? You want to feel something that seems real?' Well I just want to feel whole I want to be golden, I should go [Chorus] But it's alright I'll walk home tonight I'm going to skip all the traffic lights It's alright I'll walk home tonight I'm going to skip all the traffic lights And it's alright I'll walk home tonight I'm going to skip all the traffic lights It's alright I'll walk home tonight
