Beyond and Back Lyrics

I'll go somewhere else
I'll move to the couch
It's darker in the dark
It's darker in the day
I forgot you were a liar

Now it's five to twelve
Shut up and smoke
And I'll go somewhere else
No more orange nightgowns

One o'clock and then it ends
One o'clock and then it ends
One o'clock and then it ends

This is no place
This is no place to be addicted to another place

Never get to go
Don't you want me to make it
I took as long as you took
You take a lot from me
I forgot you were a thief

I want to be like her
Instead i stay nowhere
Marked down in the basement
Lousy at the bottom

A life of intermission
A life of intermission
A life of intermission

This is no place
This is no place to be addicted to another place

I'll go somewhere else
I'll move to the couch
It's darker in the dark
It's darker in the day
I forgot you were a liar

Now it's five to twelve
Shut up and smoke
And i'll go somewhere else
No more orange nightgowns

One o'clock and then it ends
One o'clock and then it ends
One o'clock and then it ends

Cover art for Beyond and Back lyrics by X

In the classic documentary Decline of Western Civilization X-ene (sp?) said she got the title from a bible tract. The song is about one of those battles married people experience - about sleeping on the couch, about her disappointment with her husband, her jealousy for an unnamed woman, his callous attitude - and then by one AM she's back in bed with him; the fight is over but not her bitterness. Anybody who has been married knows the feeelings expressed in this song.
