Oblivion

Written in March 1997 in Edmonton, Alberta

Have you seen me lately?
Have you seen me lately on the town?
Have you heard me lately?
Have you heard me lately make a sound?

I wanted you to believe me
I wanted you to believe me but you refused
You said you could leave me
You said you could leave me but I refused to believe

Because I don’t wanna think
And I don’t wanna sink below
I just wanna drink myself
To oblivion

What was it that I said?
What was it that I said that made you run?
Alcohol in my head

Alcohol in my head
Oblivion

What was it that I said?
What was it that I said?
Because something’s not making sense
Something’s not making any sense
Oblivion

Have you seen me lately?
Have you seen me lately on the town?
Have you heard me lately?
Have you heard me lately make a sound?

If you’ll be my baby

If you’ll be my baby, I’ll be your clown

Sweet oblivion
