BUS STATION
By Dave Alvin as performed by Tom Russel on «Modern Art»
Bus station, at sun-up, lookinâ for a new, place to go
He sips his coffie, and he pulls his ring,
and thinks of how she looked years ago
And she curls up, with a blanket, in a yellow, plastic seat
He touches her, and she looks out the window,
at an empty morning street
Chorus:
Well, he musta had a screw loose, in his head
To end up like this after all he said
He lies to her, she kisses him, gettinâ tired of love
Bus station, at sun-up, she reads the ticket, in her hand
Itâs a different name, for the same old town, and this ainât the life
that they had planned
And so he tries to tell her, it wonât be like the, times before
Itâs a different town, and a brand new start, and heâs gonna work a whole lot more.
Chorus
Bus station, at sun-up, another hour, left to blow
He touches her, but sheâd like to leave,
and thereâs no place left to go
Chorus
Well, she musta had a screw loose, in her head
How could she believe all the things he said
She lies to him, he kisses her, gettinâ tired of love
Gettinâ tired of love, gettinâ tired of love
