Just like Edgar Allen Poe

from Jorge & the NICOTEENS by Jorge & the NICOTEENS

about

This is a jangle pop anthem for those of us with shitty lovers.

lyrics

I was feelin' so morose
Just Like Edgar Allen Poe
and to this i think she knows
and to this I fear she knows

cause I was feelin' so forlorn
Just Like Edgar Allen Poe
and to this i think she knows
and to this I fear she knows

She was triumphant than the devil's death
cause when I walked away I had looked upset
so I fell into my bed
and thought about the things
maybe
I shoulda said
And maybe theres something I coulda done
Different
And maybe next time I should
plan ahead
I guess that's just the way these things just are
When light closes in &
It's a-gettin' dark

so I was feelin' so morose
Just Like Edgar Allen Poe
and to this i think she knows
and to this I fear she knows

& I was feelin' so forlorn
Just Like Edgar Allen Poe
and to this i think she knows
and to this I fear she knows

I learned what it is to be forlorn
it's when you're sitting around in a broken home
and nothing moves @ all
cept the rats crawling in the walls
you start thinkin'bout the bittter end
when's this all begin to mend?
then you start thinkin about how she'd
condescend
when you one day talked about meetin'
her again
that sneer she left as gave her your mind
when the clock is a-tickin' but you won't tell no time

when you're feelin' so morose
just like Edgar Allen Poe
and to this I think she knows
and to this I fear she knows

And I know I felt his pain
as he'd sing of Tamerlane
for these things are all the same
and it's runnin' me insane

SO there I was keepin' myself locked up
when one day I reckoned I'd had enough
so thinkin' I was pretty brave
I'd begun diggin my own grave
next thing you'd figure
I'd seen the light of day
Then i thought:
Maybe things were ment to
be this way
Life ain't easy and it's a
quite a bit strange
while no one hears you out while you're alive
'til you're layin' in a gutter
fixin to die
and you'll pray and you'll pray
for
just one more try
and you'll run away
and maybe you'll find
that these things just get better with time
It make take a while but that's just fine
these just get better with time
my friend!
cause that's just the way these things just are
&that's just the way these things just are
'til the sun comes up and it just ain't that dark.
