lyrics

In vacant lots
In towns the cities say that time forgot
I take my chances
I rendezvous with strangers
Buy their wares no longer needed
It’s my passtime
It’s how I’ve spent my life

Now, I’m not expecting you to validate all I’ve accrued
It’s starting to overtake my living space
This old upright piano
No longer played, maybe never played
Its keys pressed down with Teen Beat Magazines and old fiesta plates

I only hope you’ll understand
I only ask that you will try to comprehend

But you’re just like them!
I can tell from how you hovered ‘round my kitchen
Your footsteps so tentative!
I’m only one small person
In a world so full of material things
I’ve surrendered.
Can’t you see?
I’m one with them.

To you these look like hand-me-downs
The shit other people were throwing out
Some perverted concubine to a woefully warping & stunted mind
You’ll tell all your friends you didn’t have a good time
Attractive enough, but not quite your type
Get out of my house
Get out of my sight
There’s no room for another
It’s already too tight
Goodnight

If you forgot me by now
I’d say everything has gone according to plan
Please let me die here
Alone with my possessions
Sell my bones to someone wholesale and burn my house down
Never think of me again
