Lyrics

Why Do I Hang Around?
The moment I walk in I know that something’s wrong.
That old sinking feeling is coming on me strong.
I watch them as their smoke and their laughter fill the air.
How long can I hope for something that just isn’t there:
Chorus:
Why do I hang around?
I know I don’t belong here.
Loneliness can make a man do the strongest things.
Can make him wear a funny hat and throw it in the ring.
I melt like a chameleon into the scenery
Until one day I wake up and I know it’s time to leave.
Chorus:
Why do I hang around?
I know I don’t belong here.
I’m standing on shaky ground.
I don’t feel strong here –
So why do I hang around?
I wake up in the coat room –
Hear voices down below.
I tiptoe don the back stairs and out the door I go.
I meet up with a drunk out in the alley way.
He looks at me disgusted as if he’d heard me say.
Chorus:
Why do I hang around?
