Anything - Slaughter Beach, Dog

Anything you want to know, you could find out

Any place you want to see

You got the car

You got the cool

You got a girlfriend

You got a great big family

But now it seems that any day you get your nerve up

All the clouds converge above

Crane your neck under the hood next to the highway

The journey’s over

You were five

Then you were ten

Then you were nineteen

One day you’ll be eighty four

With your sister you would talk about growing old

You’re not talking anymore

You see your friends after your shift down at the restaurant

You see your friends out at the bar

But when you see them in the supermarket aisle

They don’t know who the hell you are

You think a smoke will calm you down

Take a deep breath

Check your pack, you’re out of smokes

You buy a drink to dull the edge

You drink it all down

In the morning you’re broke

Anything you want to know, you could find out

Any place you want to see

It’s not as easy as it seemed when you were younger

It’s not the way it’s supposed to be

I tried to tell about the difference in the night time

But I could not tell it then

If I needed you to swim, would you swim back?

Would you come to me again?

Anything you want to know, you can find out

Any place you want to see

I can promise I will be a friend to you

If you will be a friend to me
