From the recording Luxury & Waste
Lyrics
Dreary place
Driving through this dreary place
I used to be a child here
Now all I do is I drive through this place
Once all I knew
Must be something good here too
Where people are there is always some of everything
And I can’t say what was is still
I don’t mean to think ill of you Dreary Place
But I do, I do, I do
I don’t mean to think ill of you Dreary Place
But I do
Seeing you
from inside here
I no longer tremble
But should I dare step off the train
I’d disappear in your non-terrain
Now I agree this isn’t sane
Where people are help can only be a cry away
But I know still can isn’t will
I don’t mean to think ill of you Dreary Place
But I do, I do, I do
I don’t mean to think ill of you Dreary Place
But I do
Seeing us together here
At window’s length
We’re almost near
But we’re so different
So different
Your beauty is so enviably plain
Mine is so much harder to explain
And I can’t say what was is still
No I can’t say what was is still
But I know still can isn’t will
I know still can isn’t will
So I just do what I must do
And I drive right through you
I don’t mean to think ill of you Dreary Place
But I do, I do, I do
I don’t mean to think ill of you Dreary Place
But I do, I do, I do
I don’t mean to think ill of you Dreary Place
But I do
