lyrics

In some strangers house to the only open ear
You made your next confession
On these hot summer nights you have suffered delusions
Between the movie house and the drug store
You claim necessary fictions
In this train station town, were you meant to unravel?
You welcome home with open arms each returning soldier,
And try to convince them that nothing has changed

I know about your obsessions, I have held and fed them all
I know all about each one of your obsessions, last of the late night/early morning confessions

In all these years you still haven’t learned that a busy ant has no worries
No one can carry twice their own weight in despair
You love the sight of an audience attentive to your lil’ sparrow
With a delicate chirp it reveals an imprisoned insight
You need to feel the weight of release by spilling your guts to strangers
But you will always question the sincerity of their applause

I know all about your obsessions, I have held and fed them all
I know all about each one of your obsessions, last of the late night/ early morning
confessions
