Is it all so very simple
And horribly complex?
You suffer in a thimble
And there's nothing coming next
Your mom smokes in the kitchen
Her voice a cutting drone
To creeping out, you pass the bar
Your father's second home
That leaves you on your own
Nights I'd often watch you
Float across the grounds
Out the gate to the motorway
What secrets have you found?
You had to know I wanted
Something from you then
Too young to know just what it was
Something more than a friend
Is that you at the end?
Where you play in the street at night
You're blown like a broken kite
My girl, you're giving up the fight
Are you gonna let these Americans
Put another dent in your life?
