1
There's only one light on in the house
2
And that's the light up in the hall
3
And it's shining on the back of my head
4
And I'm concentrating hard
5
On the cigarette, to the ashtray
6
From the ashtray back to my lips
7
So I lean up from my easy chair
8
I rub my three day beard
9
And give that thousand yard stare
10
As I recall all the time and the money we spent
11
Before I became irrelevant
12
So the straw dog threw rock salt
13
And the precious girl took a bow and walked
14
As I ran my finger over the screen door
15
Yeah, every kiss has reeked of betrayal
16
Since my heroine jumped the guardrail
17
And decided who she wanted to be once more
18
Now, every night I'm paralyzed
19
By the fear of rope burns and morning light
20
And the smell of wet cement
21
Since I became irrelevant
22
Now, memory's just a flash flood
23
A thick and black sticky mud
24
And heartache it's like a breaking bone
25
It was always twelve hours on a missionary line
26
You think I would've spared some time
27
But I didn't, I never went home
28
Now, it occurs to me like blinds undrawn
29
Or a bullet from a shotgun
30
That she knew long ago, oh, what it meant
31
To feel irrelevant
32
Now, I'm always smilin', cryin'
33
And hidin' my intent
34
Since I became irrelevant
