Lyrics

Sleepin Tom Goes trickling down the avenue And weeping where he walked with you When nights were longer Everyone was calmer then And everyone y'all knew was friends Still doubt came creepin Well when I held it long enough Could see them through until no one's trusted Sleep in town Soul trickling down the avenue Resolves to change direction in the blue He cries no one cared No one listened Now that I'm awfully broke down with shit-grinnin friends Who will wait Who will witness So that it's obvious I'm leaving no trace behind Hope you're right 'Less your greedy See I got it all worked out I'm way outta here Hope it's time Won't be needing To resort to the method that pride's left behind I'll sleep til I've died Headin westward Where Tom goes round Knows everyone And some might say that he's lost his worth But some just listen Well they hear every word he sings And others see what's in between And eyes read empty Tom just plays it off, but this direction It is all the way He's disappearin And then once they found he'd left the sleepin town, no longer idle They're cryin he don't care He never listened Now that we're harmfully broke down with nothin to show He couldn't wait Or bear to witness It's such a devious, reckless, insane brain of mine Hope you're right Hope you're happy Now that we're out here just lyin to give life a try Maybe not Maybe just sit here Maybe I'm miles out the door leavin no trace behind Maybe I'll sleep til I die Sleepin Tom Goes trickling down the avenue And weeping where he walked with you And nights all haunt him And everything he feels when lookin back don't feel as real as When he's passed on by you To give you what you wanted That you thought he'd never offer What a shallow habit Well no one knows how cursed it is To always change direction in the blue
