Lyrics

Nowadays

[Intro]

(Something's not right, I don't understand)

[Verse 1]

Nowadays I keep to myself

Everybody else can look some other way

Things I say seem to get me into trouble

That I've been through for too many days

[Chorus 1]

And trouble is a friend of mine

I'd like to leave behind

I like my friends more refined

[Verse 2]

Things I lose, weighing on my heart

Every time I start to think maybe it's through

A little lie, goes a long way

When you can't say quite for sure what's the truth

[Chorus 2]

The truth is something no one really

Wants to hear you say

Just how you doin' and have a nice day

[Verse 3]

Nowadays you go for a walk

Better not stop and wave or say hello

Just as soon, people will spit, give you shit

Just for looking at them and walking too slow

[Chorus 3]

Slowly and methodically

I'll lock the world away

Haunted by my better days

Eels - The Deconstruction

Eels’ find themselves flourishing once again, with E. looking outwards rather than inwards on ‘The Deconstruction’.
