It's the scar on your leg
that betrays to us, that you're just a child
walking just knee-high
in the weeds of your hundred-acre sky
If it's the err of your ways
you exchange in good faith
for the love of your life
you could say it's going right
If you're the trembling cup
I can't help you, shut up
And to the city, I beg
no more cabarets in my ear canals
you took all my dearest pals
in the third act of the play
but at least they left it all on the stage
And when push comes to shove
there's nothing you love
about the great beyond
or an icy tarn
or an old family name
or just what your children all became
Through the walls, baby,
I don't know what you heard
but it probably wasn't me,
I just learned all the words
What's the last thing I can say?
"There's so much about you I don't hate."
