Flatness Lyrics - No Depression - Uncle Tupelo

Beer makes you weary 

But you need something to get along 

You stare at the flatness 

Beside the dark home 

They'll not hear you whisper 

This isn't where it ends 

Your hand holds a bottle 

That has become your last and only friend 

I've lost all hope 

There's hope for you 

If not just in the possibility 

Of a better next day 

If not just in the simple fact 

There's no other way 

You lie on that couch 

And try to dream once more 

But your only goal is to sleep 

Until the news is over 

And outside the leaves are all changing 

But you drink to forget 

Someone you once met 

Stands blocking the bright orange sunset 

I've lost all hope 

There's hope for you 

If not just in the possibility 

Of a better next day 

If not just in the simple fact 

There's no other way 

So open up those curtains 

And drink up the daylight 

Just by the brightness 

Open your doors wide 

'Cause things don't get better 

But some people do 

There's darkness in this life 

But the brighter side we also may view 

There's darkness in this life 

But the brighter side we also may view
