lyrics

Please don't tell me that you love me
Like you did in old Pete's Basement
All those years ago in Schenectady
I'm wishing now that we had never met

I don't know where you're going but I won't be there
If you recall and remember you said you never really cared
About me in Pete's Basement

Standing on the corner in Schenectady
Smokin' a cig and trying to get a taxi
Going over the bridge to my sister's house
I reckon' by now she's pretty mad at me

So I'm gonna' move on in to old Pete's Basement
He said I could stay there for free
If I do some paintings of a brook trout
I reckon that you can stay over with me

I don't know where you're going but I won't be there
If you recall and remember you said you never really cared
About me in Pete's Basement

My old friend Pete, he's got one arm
He said people are better off that way
Sometimes at night we'd go down to the bar
And he'd beat my ass in pool, you should see that mother f***** play

He used to tell me 'Girl, take life a little easly'
But we pushed too hard, stayed up too late
Thought we were going where the winds blow cool and breezy
We were stupid we were young we had a bad twist of fate

I don't know where you're going but I won't be thereIf you recall and remember you said you never really cared
About me in Pete's Basement

Diggin' my grave in old Pete's Basement
With a silver spoon and a jar of cheap whiskey
Wish that you were still lying here with me
But the light is gone your eyes see right through me

I don't know where you're going but I won't be thereIf you recall and remember you said you never really cared
And then you peed on my blanket
