[English]

She sat right down on the sofa

Said, "Where have you been?"

I've been waiting for you

'Cause last night, I had something so good

These days get so long, and I got nothing to do

I been hangin' around this town on the corner

I been bumming around this old town so long

I been hangin' around this town on the corner

I been bumming around this old town for way too long

We spend all day getting sober

Just hiding from daylight, watching TV

We just look a lot better in the blue light

Well, you know I gotta get out

Well, I'm stuck so tight weighed by the chains that keep me

Hangin' around this town on the corner

I been bumming around this old town too long

I been hangin' around this town on the corner

I been bumming around this old town for way too long

Well, everybody trip

...

This girl listens to the band play

She says, "Where have you been?"

I've been lying right here on the floor, right here on the floor

Well, I got all this time to be waiting for what is mine

To be hating what I am after the love has faded

Hangin' around this town on the corner

I been bumming around this old town so long

I been hangin' around this town on a corner

I been bumming around this old town for way too

I been hangin' around this town on a corner

I been bumming around this old town so long

I been hangin' around this town on a corner

I been bumming around this old town

For way, way, way, way, way too long

Way, way, way, way too long

Way, way, way, way too long

Way, way, way, way too long

Way, way, way, way too long

Way, way, way, way too long

Way, way, way, way too long
