Cowboy Junkies

See You Around

Well, I'm sorry for my lack of communication

But as I'm staring out this fifth floor window

It seems like the least amount of communication is better

Oh well, what am I supposed to say?

There's a bloody effigy on my wall

And the complimentary carnation is falling apart

And I ain't got time for the niceties

Or rather, I was never, never fond of the niceties

Well, I will see you around, around, around

I will see you around

I will see you around, yeah, yeah

I will see you around

Well, I must admit I'm flattered

By your consecration

It's mind-numbing, spine-chilling

But never-the-less heartwarming gesture

But as you make your advances so clumsily

I'll save us both the hassle and leave

Hang out all night

In the familiar fluorescent light of Dunkin' Donuts

'Cause I ain't got time for the niceties

Or rather I was never, never fond of the niceties

I will see you around, yeah, yeah

I will see you around

I will see you around

I'll see you around

Well, how are you with issues?

Lately you've been a half-assed activist

You've been seen sashaying around the picket line

Wearing scarcely any sign

Oh, but I was vocal in love and strife

And the politics of your all important life

Well, I'm sorry

But your routine is coming off a bit ragged

And I ain't got time for the niceties

Rather I was never, never fond of the niceties

I will see you around, yeah

I will see you around

I'll see you around

I will see you around

Yeah, I will see you around

Um, I'll see you around, yeah

I will see you around, round

I'll see you around

I will see you around
