Well come on right along as we sing another song And we forfeit all the forethought of our fathers now They'll never hear a word we say For they've long since hit the hay right after supper If they cared so much they'd care enough To find out where it is we go at sundown But as much as they complain you know they'd rather play it safe And who's to say we're fucking up all that bad anyway?
So leave your secrets at the door and your belongings on the floor And stamp your feet to the heartbeats pulsing around us You're comfortable and you're favorable But you're never around And no I won't, and no I don't I don't consent to any of this So I sit alone in sepia tones And wait out my lifelong sentence
In the safety of the sun I rejoice, inviting everyone To stay with me a while I'm not quite ready to suffer this alone
