Can't Go Home Anymore

(album: A Date With The Smithereens - 1994)

I try to get the willful peace in my mind
But psychotic people are all I find
Should have known better than to walk through the city at night
The way you walked is thorny for sure
Tried everything to get you more
Should have known better than to walk through the city at night

Might go too crazy if I keep on living this way
I think of your face and the last words that I heard you say

You can't stay here and you can't go home anymore
You can't stay here and you can't go home anymore

There's a young girl all alone in the night
She's sitting there and waiting for the bus in the light
Should have known better than to walk through the jungle at night
I watched you walk and then I followed you home
You should've listened to your daddy when he said "Not too long!"
Should have known better than to walk through the jungle at night

I'll go too crazy if I keep on living this way
I think of your voice and the last words that I heard you say

You can't stay here and you can't go home anymore
You can't stay here and you can't go home anymore

I try to get the willful peace in my mind
But psychotic people are all I find
Should have known better than to walk through the city at night

I'll go too crazy if I keep on living this way
I think of your face and the last words that I heard you say

You can't stay here and you can't go home anymore
You can't stay here and you can't go home anymore
La la la la la lala la la lala la la
