ever since you slipped away, i've had so much i've wanted to say
but the more i need you to hear, the less you want me near...
so i'm left out, feeling like a bad joke, who's last line left long ago; and you know, there's only a coupl'a things any worse than a bad joke... and one of em's certainly gotta be a bad blues song, being sung by someone who shouldn't have ever spoke!
