Lyrics:

rush hour

at the day's dawning

the rain came and pushed me under the awning

the puddles grew and threw themselves at me

with every passing car

i'm shielding my guitar

there were some things that i

did not tell him

there were certain things he did not

need to know

there were some days that i

did not love him

he did not understand me

and i don't know why i didn't go

he said change the channel

i've got problems of my own

i'm so sick of hearing about drugs and aids

and people without homes

and i said well, i'd like to sympathize with that

but if you don't understand then

how can you act

i expected summer to be there in the morning

i awoke to the alarm

but she was out of arm's reach

sneaking out on silent thighs

that were spent and sore

from the hot nights that came before

he said i looked for you

and i don't know why

i said i was wearing black

so you could see me against the sky

take your big leather boots

and your buckles and your chains

put them on a downtown train

i expected he would be there in the morning

i awoke to the alarm

he was still in arm's reach

but his body was just a disguise

his mind had wandered off long ago

i could tell by his eyes

love isn't over when the sheets are stained

in my head there remains

so much left to be said

make me laugh, make me cry, enrage me

but just don't try to disengage me
