Tell You Something

Written by Bob Bortnick and Mark Linkous

LYRICS
I heard that it rained in California
Won’t you come back home ’cause I’ve got something for ya?
Oh I’m gonna tell you something that you probably already know
Oh I just turned but I didn’t go
Why don’t you meet me in the station about a quarter to midnight?
I’ve been so messed up that I can’t hardly talk right
Oh I’m gonna educate you to what you probably already learned
Oh I love your fire but I keep getting burned
I’m gonna tell you something that your mama already knows
Oh I don’t know anything at all
Well I’ve seen you standing there
You’d look right anywhere
You walking talking dream
You’re never what you seem
But I don’t care that I’m not there at all
I’d like to wake up in the morning, take a walk out in the sun
I tried to make myself some coffee but I just couldn’t function
Oh I’m gonna tell you something that you probably already know
Oh I’ve see the last light spoken going down slow
Oh I’m gonna tell you something that you probably already know
Oh I don’t know anything at all
I’m gonna educate you to what you probably already learned
Oh I love your fire but I keep getting burned
Hey I’m gonna tell you something
I’m gonna tell you something
I’m gonna tell you
I’m gonna tell you
I’m gonna tell you something
