Lyrics
I went walking home alone
Past all the bars and corner delis
When I heard God call out my name
And he said, "Hey
Let's grab a beer
It's awful late
We both right here"
And we didn't even have to pay
'Cause God is God
And he's revered
And I said:
"Why doesn't it get better with time?"
I'm becoming all alone again
Stay, stay, stay
Let the ones who want it bad
Get all the things that make them better
Let the ones who don't care feel a thrill
And I just want to ride
But this whole world
It makes me carsick
Stop the meter sir
You have a heart
Why don't you use it?
Why doesn't it get better with time?
I'm becoming all alone again
Stay, stay, stay
I went walking home alone
Past all the bars and corner delis
When I asked God
Please call
Call my name
And I said, "Hey
Let's grab a beer
It's awful late
I know you're here
And we wouldn't even have to pay
'Cause You are God and You're revered"
Why doesn't it get better with time?
I'm becoming all alone again
Stay, stay, stay
I'm becoming all alone again
Stay, stay, stay
Stay, stay, stay
Stay, stay, stay
Stay, stay, stay
