Anyway Lyrics

I bought a lampshade at the store today

The man there called it one-of-a-kind

As I went up with my cash to pay

The man there called it sentimental

I hung it up along my ceiling

It's hanging right above my t.v.

And when it's lit up I can start to see

The light it gives the room is very gentle

So why do I lay with all the lights off most the time?

Am I confused about the where, the when, the why?

Of how I can't seem to breathe the same when I'm a fly

Looking out against your life

I'm looking out against you

I'm looking out against you

I'm looking out against you

I'm looking out against you

I put the lampshade in my car

I drove along the rain-soaked path back to the store

I told the man that it was sweet, but not for me

He said, "Okay"

And gave me twenty back, and change

I said, "I don't have use for such a thing"

I never turn my lights on anyway
