Far Away - Sleater-Kinney

Seven thirty a.

m

Nurse the baby on the couch

Then the phone rings

Turn on the TV

Watch the world explode in flames

And don’t leave the house

And the sky overhead

Is silent, waiting

Clear blue holds its breath

And the heart is hit

In a city far away

But it feels so close

(I'm standing here on a one way road and I fall down, and I fall down)

Don’t breathe, the air today

(No other direction for this to go and we fall down, and we fall down)

Don’t speak, of why you’re afraid

Why can’t I get along?

Why can’t I get along?

Why can’t I get along with you?

And the president hides

While working men rush in

And give their lives

I look to the sky

And ask it not to rain

On my family tonight

(I'm standing here on a one way road and I fall down, and I fall down)

Don’t breathe, the air today

(No other direction for this to go and we fall down, and we fall down)

Don’t speak, of why you’re afraid

Why can’t I get along?

Why can’t I get along?

Why can’t I get along with you?

(I'm standing here on a one way road and I fall down, and I fall down)

Don’t breathe, the air today

(No other direction for this to go and we fall down, and we fall down)

Don’t speak, of why you’re afraid

Why can’t I get along?

Why can’t I get along?

Why can’t I get along with you?
