No Name #1 Lyrics
[Verse 1]
At a party he was waiting
Looking kind of spooky and withdrawn
Like he could be underwater
The mighty mother with her hundred arms
Swept all aside
I hate to walk behind
Other people's ambitions
I saw you waiting
[Bridge]
Saint-like, with your warning
[Chorus]
Leave alone
You don't belong here
[Verse 2]
Got nervous, started whistling
Every thought a ricochet
Did you notice? Well, I wondered
What's the worst thing I could say?
Froze up inside
"You remind me of
Someone's daughter," I forgot her
I forgot her name, ashamed
[Bridge]
Go home and live with your pain
[Chorus]
Leave alone
Leave alone
Because you know you don't belong
You don't belong here
[Bridge]
When I go, don't you follow
[Chorus]
Leave alone
Leave alone
Because you know you don't belong
You don't belong here
[Outro]
Slip out quiet
Nobody's looking
Leave alone
You don't belong here
