lyrics

Now you know there is no wrong way home
Ask any mother or another, other than your own
But couldn’t you have used the phone
You’re still just a day’s walk from you if you leave right now

Maybe it’s noon over there
Maybe you could fake your death
You know it really isn’t that much of a stretch
For you stayed with the people who
introduced you to the guillotine in the first place

You know I don’t have the words you need
You’ve been gone so long I doubt I’d even recognize your sneeze
You don’t know which way the lint trap goes
Last time we saw your face, we were still hanging up our clothes

Where did you go?
Did they have TV there?
After you disappeared
I hated even evening air

Spent half my life searching for you
And here you stand now, in that same old suit
Did you hate yourself
There in your time machine
Did they have to open you up to find out what you mean
When you explained you were from the past
In a color scheme where they knew that evolution had passed.
