lyrics

A bird will spread its wings
To scare off larger things
Me, I just sit there
I do nothing
But fantasise about
A world where I am king
'Cos it's easier to joke
Than to pack my things and leave
I see someone I know
And it ruins my day

(Don't ask, don't ask, don't ask, don't ask, I don't know)

Another perfect day
Spent in the usual way
Heating soup in the ashtray
(Don't ask, don't ask, don't ask, don't ask, I don't know)

Dying for a kiss
And bursting for a piss
Surely there must be more to life than this
(Don't ask, don't ask, don't ask, don't ask, I don't know)

Crawling 'cross the floor
And listening at the door
The party down the hall
Continues its assault
And someone grabs my arm
And someone grabs my hair
I try to keep my cool
While falling down the stairs

Trapped beneath the glass
And screaming for my dad
Both arms twisted
Up behind my back
And could I kill a man?
Two guns to mark the choice:
One against my hip
And one against my head
