Bright Eyes Saturday As Usual Lyrics

Saturday As Usual Lyrics

virginia is almost sleeping 

the night is getting older 

there is static on the tv 

and she's lying on the sofa 

the cats crawl over her 



jenny is in the garage 

she's got the car in neutral 

she rolls it out so quietly 

it's saturday as usual 

it always is 



and me I'm in my bedroom drawing in my notebook 

because my hand thinks I'm an artist 

but my heart knows I'm a poet 

It's just words they mean so little to me 

i can't seem to deal with total trust 

there is something very wrong with me 



daddy's in the backyard 

his hands are getting dirty 

and mom is in the kitchen and her cake says that I'm thirteen 

another year 



my brother went to college to become a doctor 

and if he studies hard enough 

he'll end up just like father 

who hates his life 



and me i'm in the bathroom 

crying out my eyelids because it's hard to Be a man 

when you are scared like a little kid 

the world has become a little too mean 

and i can't see the point of patient love 

when everyone just wants to get fucked
