The Stink - Got to Go Lyrics

See Eddie walking with a boulder on his shoulder
He used to smile every now and then
A young man, quickly getting older
Don't know when he's gonna smile again
His cold stare, it's getting colder
And all he really needs is a friend
And Jenny's there, but Eddie told her
He knows everybody leaves in the end

She says "Eddie, it ain't so hard"
He says "I'm scarred and my heart is black and charred
Bodies attract but always come back apart
C'mon, Jenny, be smart"

But see, to Jenny, things are getting better
And she's been shouldering a load of her own
Now she ain't trying to let the little things upset her
She's just so tired of being alone
She says "Eddie, you're so frustrating
Standing in the sun, thinking it's night
But when you're ready, I'll be waiting
Don't go forever never seeing the light"

She says "Eddie, now I'll be damned
If you think I really can't understand
I got a plan and I saved up a couple grand
C'mon Eddie, take my hand...

We're gonna leave town tonight
We're on the rebound, it's alright
Just dig deep down in spite of all that you know
We're gonna leave town tonight
We're on the rebound, it's alright
Just dig deep down and fight, we just got to go

So Ed and Jenny hit the road and try to make it
Yeah, they're gonna take a stab at romance
A heavy load, but together, they can take it
Maybe together, they got half of a chance
The path they chose, it's unfamiliar
And now they're staring at the unknown
And Eddie knows what doesn't kill you
Will only leave you sad and alone

He says "baby, let's play it safe
And maybe get on a path that's already paved"
She says "I know you ain't a man of any faith
But c'mon, Eddie, be brave...

We're gonna leave town tonight
We're on the rebound, it's alright
Just dig deep down in spite of all that you know
We're gonna leave town tonight
We're on the rebound, it's alright
Just dig deep down and fight, we just got to go

She says "C'mon Eddie, it's time to go
Give it gas, we're living fast or we're dying slow
And what you got in your past, baby, I don't know
But now it's such a long time ago...

We're gonna leave town tonight
We're on the rebound, it's alright
Just dig deep down in spite of all that you know
We're gonna leave town tonight
We're on the rebound, it's alright
Just dig deep down and fight, we just got to go
