lyrics

I know just how to fit in
With the people who know where they’ve been
They seem to always have something to say
Always knowing to play as it lays.

They lived where I failed to get in
Seeing all that there is to be seen
Heaving up on the heavens above
Sally ho, these soldiers of love!

But they’re gone, so gone
So go it alone.

The party gets off with a swing
The girlfriends are gathering in
The husbands who talk of themselves
To the wives they left on the shelf

What a lark!
What sport to partake in?

If they were bad without being that
If you were mad I would not know it
I see in the end of everything
Everything else.

The shout from the bathroom is heard
She washes the blood from her hands
With the move to the right of his chin
She see’s the mess that she’s in
All over for what must begin
And she’s, but so gone
So she goes there alone

You confuse my boredom for autism
Must we diagnose so cursorily
The unsaid word is a mortuary
So I go out without going out
I sing along too desperately
I fall about to the twist and shout

Gets me down
Gets me out
Out of the way.
