Counting Crows Follow

But you can't get away from that
They appear and disappear
And they all have got strings attached

Pretty soon they got you hanging on the line
Pretty soon they're singin'
One by one the same old rhyme
They say, "I'm all right, I just can't get home tonight"

She don't want nobody home
'Cause it's a little too crowded there
She don't want to be alone
So they just keep pourin' in

Pretty soon they got her headed for the door
She comes home to find
They're not hangin' round no more
She says, "I'm all right, you just can't get home tonight"

Don't you wonder
What she looks like in the light?
She says ‽I'm all right, I just can't get home tonight”

Pretty whitewashed lies, endless alibis
And reasons that need cleanin' every night
Half a world away, you can't wash away
The stain of her deceivin'
And the things that you could not believe in

Well, she don't want no one around
'Cause she don't want anybody to see
What she looks like when she's down
'Cause that's a really sad place to be

Pretty soon she gets them crawling up the walls
Then she wonders why
They beg her please, then never call
She says, "I'm okay, it's all right, hey, look who's on TV tonight”
She says, "I'm all right, I just can't get home tonight"

Don't you wonder
Why it's dark outside at night?
She says ‽I'm all right, I just can't get home tonight”
She says ‽I'm all right, I just can't get home tonight”

But you can't get away from that
They appear and disappear
