The Gun Club - Araby Lyrics

I can feel the filth is coming

I can see it moving in

From a window with dirty hands

And coming back again,

Yes, the waitress wants to kill me

But, I'd rather kill her all the same

She better not look at me

Or I'll do it again,

But, it's me

Someone was there, it was me

Someone named Araby

Now, the bassist hates the drummer

And the drummer hates his wife

See her again? Run away, it will always be alright,

Shall we go back to the motel?

No wait! Let's run away.

Spend all night in Paradise Bar

Until it goes away,

But, it's me

Someone was there, it was me

Someone named Araby

But, it's me

Someone else is me

Somebody named Araby

Rain just slaps our faces

Colors me to here

Where do we go? Where's the train?

With eyes still shaking with fear,

I can see the lights are coming

But, I'm sure they're not for me

It's written on the roadmap

That I can never see,

But, it's me

Someone was there, it was me

Someone named Araby

But, it's me

Somebody else is me

Someone named Araby
