spirit in the suburbs

You'd be scared too if you shared my mind
Won't get wound up because I can't unwind
I'm whispering graces down the phone because I'm running out of time
I'm sitting cautiously alone hoping just to hear you on the other line

I could bore you to tears with more from that place
But I so much like your smile I wouldn't dare disturb the face
You're sitting here I'm sitting there it's just a dance you're teaching us
You picked it up before somewhere and now you're passing it on

squirrels on the tree don't even think about me as they chase each other on the tree
sitting in a park on a saturday morning hearing the dogs bark happy in my car parked in the park
sitting in the sun it's a beautiful day this one good to get away from the weekday humdrum
i hear blackbirds crowing over lawnmowers mowing and the spirit in the suburbs gets me going

Back to you it's a wonderful thought - you with your problems I could take the lot
Hello again I see you've picked up the pieces - it's good to see you smile and hear you're feeling decent
I'm doing better though I'm still fairly frightened
This could all come to an end before it really begins.
