Sleepy Lyrics by The Ataris

...Anywhere but Here

1997

It's frivolous, it's pointless, I'm waiting here in line
I'd buy a cup of coffee but I just wanna kill some time
I'm watching you, now I'm staring at you
I figure that you'd notice but you don't really have a clue

Time sure does fly when you're just a lonely boy
Waiting for someone to come along and ruin your fun
Sitting all alone with that quiet smile on your face
I pretend I'm not interested by staring off into space

Why did I act like I didn't even care?
Now I wish that you could only be there
A game of cat and mouse that curiosity has killed
Just call it pointless, call it what you will
