Sun Kil Moon - Angela lyrics
[Sun Kil Moon - Angela lyrics]
Where did you go, Angela?
Where did you go, Angela?
I have my neurosis, you had your neurosis
Together we lay between walls in symbiosis
My place is a place I hang my hat
Your place was a place you
Shared with your cat
Where did you go, Angela?
Where did you go, Angela?
When I'd water my succulents I couldn't help
But notice you shamelessly taking selfies
I miss seeing your flip-flops laying on
The dusty mat in our
Shared area where I'd step out
At night for cigarettes
You lived alonе in your fishbowl existence
I travеled the globe
The globetrotting itinerant
And when I'd come home there'd
Be many packages for you
And when they were heavy I'd carry
Your bottled water, cat litter
And your cat food too
You ordered your life like a
Magic wand from Chewycom, eBay, and Walmart
Bed Bath & Beyond, Zappos and Instacart
Etsy and Amazoncom
One day I came home from
Buffalo and to my surprise:
Only one package for Angela in
The lobby of my building
I thought, "This is strange, out
Of character for her"
The stairs leading up to my
Door are high and steep
I dragged my luggage up my staircase
By the time I got inside
I forgot all about the
One single package that was
Down there for Angela
I opened my window to air out my
Place and I watered my succulents
And I glanced in your window, your
Place was empty You were gone
I'm saddened and perplexed by
Your sudden exit
Where did you go, Jennifer?
Where did you go, Jennifer?
You did my dry cleaning for 32 years
And saying goodbye to you had me in tears
Your rent got too high the city half-died
I asked you, "What's left?"
You said you're retiring
I said, "Do you mean there's
No government money for you?"
And you said no i said
"It must be the same for
Other small businesses because I
Also noticed the Pancho's on
Polk Street is closed"
I went to my local grocery
Store guy and said "Man
Jenny's down the street and
Pancho's are closed"
He said "Mark, I know, I saw that
The San Francisco we once knew will
Never be the same San Francisco"
Where did you go, my beautiful city?
Where did you go, my magical city?
You're boarded up with plywood now
Covered in graffiti you were such a charmer
You were once so pretty
I've gotten tired of waiting
In lines and being
Told on which X I can stand
I'm tired of being shamed when I reach in
My wallet and accidentally hand
The cashier cash
And being yelled at by clerks when
I walk in their store
Without using hand sanitizer first and
Not wearing a mask
I tell them I'm doing the best to follow
Their guidelines and to do what they ask
But before leaving I tell
Them, "Next time, please, relax
My reflexes are still programmed
To grocery shopping
Protocol of the very recent past
You're a clerk, not a cop
So quit being so bossy, it's not very nice
I understand there's a lot of
Fear going around but please
Don't forget to be polite"
Where did you go, my boxing gym?
Where did you go, the music venue Slim's?
Where did you go, my August Hall show?
Where did you go, my San Francisco?
Where did you go, Angela?
I have my neurosis, you had your neurosis
Together we lay between walls in symbiosis
My place is a place I hang my hat
Your place was a place you
Shared with your cat
Where did you go, Angela?
Where did you go, Angela?
When I'd water my succulents I couldn't help
But notice you shamelessly taking selfies
I miss seeing your flip-flops laying on
