Visions Lyrics

I wear lace underwear to go nowhere, and

No one walks me home

Keeps me like a secret, in my own company

I'm reaping what I've sown

And I am treading water on the uptown A

I just can't stand to be alone

These days, these days

I'm going by a different name

But I still look just like my mother

Her vision's biting at my heels

While I become a better bluffer

And David wakes up early

Just to call my name

I just can't stand to be alone

These days, these days

I've got an awful vision of you in the hall

Looking at your songbird after the free-for-all

You took her out, and took her home

Took the train down from Connecticut

Looked so small then

We talk about the weather, getting better

and if I'm having any fun

Choke on my diplomacy

Tell me you've been seeing someone

And I blew half my paycheck

Just to get to your place

I just can't stand to be alone

These days, these days

I've got an awful vision of you in the fall

Tending your resentment, letting it grow so tall

You took me out and took me home

Took the train down from Connecticut

Felt so small then

I begged you not to visit,

You laughed me off

"Never was an option," knew you'd hate what you saw

You took me out and took me home

but the train down from Connecticut

takes so long

Did you feel wicked?

Or just indifferent?

Or anything at all?
