She takes my money
And drinks my wine
I think it's funny
Most of the time
Flotsam whirring around on the alphabet
Vignettes of conversations never had
Rootless and angry and pointlessly hot
It just pounds on the walls of its cage
It just pounds on the walls of its rage
Home of the brave and into the breach
The courage to love and the hate of the speech
The warmth of your heart and the pain and the teach
Lift up your eyes while you struggle to reach and
It has to be love tough hurts to let go
The blue of your eyes and the shame of the know
I am in it too deep and I can't let you go
I can't let you go
Makes no sense to be sunny
But there she is
Sipping Mai Tais with honey
Confused this boy is
Our children are smashing up downtown
Spouting logic and facts without sense
Rootless sensationless moody and cute
They just pound on the walls of their age
They just pound on the walls of their age
Home of the brave and into the breach
The courage to love and the hate of the speech
The warmth of your heart and the pain and the teach
Lift up your eyes while you struggle to reach
And it has to be love though it hurts to let go
The blue of your eyes and shame of the know
I'm in it too deep and I can't let you go
I can't let you go
Flotsam whirring about around the alphabet
Vignettes of conversations never had
Rootless sensationless moody and cute
It just pounds on the walls of its cage
It just pounds on the doors of its rage
They just pound on the walls of their age
Home of the brave and into the breach
The courage to love and the hate of the speech
The warmth of your heart and the pain and the teach
Lift up your eyes while you struggle to reach
It has to be love though it hurts to let go
The blue of your eyes and shame of the know
I am in it too deep and I can't let you go
I can't let you go
I can't let you go
I can't let you know
