Looking at your watch a third time
waiting in the station for the bus
Going to a place that's far,
so far away and if that's not enough
Going where nobody says hello,
they don't talk to anybody they don't know
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
I know it might sound strange, but I believe
You'll be coming back before too long
Don't go back to Rockville,
don't go back to Rockville,
don't go back to Rockville
And waste another year
(Verse 2 same as first)
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 and
That's not how it ought to be
Well I know it might sound strange, but I believe
You'll be coming back before too long
(chorus)
