Have seen them raise an eye, I'm comin' home 
 Seedy and crawlin', seven years or more 
 Now you know where I'm goin' 
    A beautiful shade of blue and pale 
 A colour you bought at a junkie's yard sale 
 Stop your cryin', stop your cryin'   
 Well I'm lazy now-the summer crazy farm 
 Is all I own with   
 My motor, my thrills, I needed my space 
 My prison, my drugs, let's go to my place 
 Ain't been there lately 
 Ain't been there lately 
 Ain't been there lately - there's no room   
 Well I sacrificed the all the people 
 That were killin' me and since gone away 
 Three of them murdered, two livin' 
 Now even God's gone, not much left to say   
 If there's a day you wanna come by 
 Everybody knows I'll just be sittin' here 
 Drop on by now, let's get high now   
 The reverend reminded me your redemption can be paid with   
 My motor, my thrills, I needed my space 
 My prison, my drugs, let's go to my place 
 Ain't been there lately 
 Ain't been there lately 
 Ain't been there lately-there's no room   
 Ain't been there lately 
 Ain't been there lately 
 Ain't been there lately 
 Ain't been there lately, lately
