The window's a mirror when the sun is a light bulb There's some beer in the fridge it'll help take the edge off But if the last one was emptied out last night Then it's a block through the rain to a well lit corner store An ambulance wail undulates in the distance Does not reveal the direction it travels Will it get further away Or drive right down this street My scenery built with A stranger's tragedy And I tragically
Try to fight for the cause but then marry the martyr Is that statue that stands in the park a celebrity If so does it get its own groceries Just like me Does it forget the list And then get lost in the isles Walk in circles aimless Looking for what it has missed There's something I've missed
So I'll put on my shoes Grab my hat and my coat Turn off all the lights Turn the locks and walk alone Passed the houses, and storefronts, and streets By all the people I'll never get to know Till I stop at your front door I hope that you are home
