Slaughter Beach, Dog – Anything lyrics

Anything you want to know, you could find out
Any place you want to see
You got the car
You got the cool
You got a girlfriend
You got a great big family

Now it seems that any day you get your nerve up
All the clouds converge above
You crane your neck under the hood next to the highway
The journey's over

You were five
Then you were ten
Then you were nineteen
One day you'll be eighty four
With your sister you would talk about growing old
You're not talking anymore
You see your friends after your shift down at the restaurant
You see your friends out at the bar
But when you see them in the supermarket aisle
They don't know who the hell you are

You think a smoke will calm you down
Take a deep breath
Check your pack, you're out of smokes
You buy a drink to dull the edge
You drink it all down
In the morning you're broke

Anything you want to know, you could find out
Any place you want to see
It's not as easy as it seemed when you were younger
It's not the way it's supposed to be

I tried to tell about the difference in the night time
But I could not tell it then
If I needed you to swim, would you swim back
Would you come to me again

Anything you want to know, you can find out
Any place you want to see
I can promise I will be a friend to you
If you will be a friend to me
