lyrics

it rains on the same days every year
what does it take to get a break around here?
fluorescent lighting, linoleum floors
from the high schools to the convenience stores

it all blends together, i can't keep it straight
but i vanish the moment that i hesitate
tilt at windmills all day just to blow off steam
till you wake me up from svidrigailov's last dream

just when i think i'm getting used to me
i find that i'm not the man i used to be
but i take it in stride
keep on moving and i'm bound to find

a little distraction, an open door
i need a reaction, i can't take much more
i get too sick and tired of swimming upstream
till you wake me up from svidrigailov's last dream

pick a fight just to see if i can
wind up bruised and bleeding in a garbage can
make a story for the story's own sake
lo and behold, you're there when i awake

under the train tracks in a thunderstorm
you offer your hand just to keep mine warm
you don't talk much, i don't mind
in a town so small, you were hard to find

i wasn't looking, but i'm looking now
the frozen skyline seems to take a bow
there's not a thing in this town that's quite what it seems
till you wake me up from svidrigailov's last dream
