Balmy Night Lyrics
By yellow light,
this balmy night's too long.
My broken record
is always on.
My yellow light's too low.
My broken record.
My father told me
never to run.
But if he's comin' after me,
I'm all ready gone.
Out through the washroom,
through my backyard.
this balmy night's too long.
My broken record
is always on.
My broken record.
never to run.
But if he's comin' after me,
I'm all ready gone.
Out through the washroom,
through my backyard.

my father told me never to run but if he's coming after me i'm already gone out through the wall or through my backyard

I think he says "Out through the washroom." Pretty clear in the Daytrotter Sessions. This is my favorite song on the album, just amazing.
What do you think this means? I know this album was dedicated to his father after he died.
Do you think it might mean that he thinks his father was a better man than himself. He views his father as brave and steadfast and himself as a coward. Its a tribute to his father.
It's "But if he's comin' after me," not "There are things coming after me."
