Wow, MGL. I haven't heard that one in a while, and you made me look up the lyrics again. Anyone ever heard that mash (really a cover of sorts) of Lost in the Supermarket vs. that Adam Freeland track ("We want your soul", not sure if that's the title)? I can't find it right now, but it's brilliant.

You are currently:
*Looking at your watch a third time
*Waiting in the station for a bus
*Going to a place that's far, so far away
*Going where nobody says hello (They don't talk to anybody they don't know)
Possible consequences of your actions:
*You'll wind up in some factory that's full time filth and nowhere left to go
*Walk home to an empty house
*Sit around all by yourself
Anticipated outcome:
*You'll be coming back before too long
My current agenda:
*At night I drink myself to sleep
*Pretend I don't care if you're not here with me
Veiled threat:
*Something better happen soon or it's gonna be too late to bring you back
Weak selling points:
*It's not as though I really need you
*If you were here I'd only bleed you
*But everybody else in town only wants to bring you down
*That's not how it ought to be
Things you shouldn’t do:
*Go back to Rockville
*Waste another year
