If you were yelling through the glass
Down at me from your apartment
While I was kicking at the cracks
In the pavement by your garden,
I didn't hear a word you said!
Have you been feeling where you are
Is a thousand miles from where you should be?
Wringing your hands in held contempt?
Don't be ashamed, my pitiful friend.
When you want it all without the consequence,
Disappointment is imminent.
What's behind your name, strange neighbor in the window?
An enigmatic puzzle trap of cigarettes and song?
Am I the one that's strange?
I pay too close attention.
Soon I will be gone.
But the praise and veneration you've desired has finally come.
Now you're claiming no relation to the roots from which you've grown.
But the mysteries of the universe are swirling in your eyes,
Like you've almost seen the answers...
