Nellie McKay
Two lost barrettes
Graze fireballs
Just bottle caps and dominoes
You'll never know
What you have missed
You're all alone in the infinite
And I never mind anymore what you see
(1, 2, 3, 4)
You're on to me but your sympathy is all wrong
I'm just a bump on the wall
A scratch off bet
Mere detritus
Some tossed cassettes on needle tips
You'll never know
What you dismiss
You're off again on your endless quest
And I seldom hear anymore what you say
(1, 2, 3, 4)
You're tired of me and your shatterеd dreams are all gone
I'm just a lump on thе lawn
You and me higher than the ocean breezes fall
And if life passes by the broken bear it all, anyway
Carry me back to whence I came
To a place without a name
Full of puzzled aeroplanes
So strange, so strange
Hydrants jet
Sweepers roar
Past party hats from discount stores
Loose cigarettes
Chase magazines
Sweet memories of gasoline
And I shouldn't care anymore what you think
(1, 2, 3, 4)
You're over me and your grief and shame are spot on
I'm just a bum on the road
