Hey hey, just one more and I'll walk away
All the everything you win turns to nothing today
And I forget how to move when my mouth is this dry
And my eyes are bursting hearts in a blood-stained sky
Oh, it was sweet, it was wild, and oh how we
I trembled, stuck in honey
Honey, cling to me

So just one more
Just one more go
Inspire in me the desire in me to never go home

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo

Oh, just one more and I'll walk away
All the everything you win turns to nothing today

So just one more
Just one more go
Inspire in me the desire in me to never go home
To never go home

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

This is one of those wonderful understated songs by the Cure - a few lines which say so much and spark off the imagination. You can almost imagine the scene - a dusk filled with foreboding, the sunset streaking the sky with red as clouds roll in, and the tormented soul pacing the streets trying to work out what he should do...sometimes you just don't want to go home...things there are too uncomfortable; maybe it feels like a prison, maybe it tempts you into self-destructive behaviour, maybe you just need the courage not to go back there again...you are sick of home (hence "the homesick")

@Mother Mucus What if it's always. Not sometimes that you don't want to go home. Somewhere that was once filled with love is now just cold. A place where you are resented. What do you do? Heroin is becoming more and more appealing as each day pases. Im not a bad person. I'm kind to animals and old people. I don't deserve to be hated. I"m sat in the car a few streets away from where i live playing Disintegration over and over. Particularly this song. Soon i will have to go in and pretend everything is ok
