lyrics

Small, looking dumb, you feel outnumbered in the clamor for crumbs
In a pile on the floor in an artless war, you suck your thumb
You’re a babe, you’re a foal: all survival, no control,
and you feel old
Smile, do a flip, do something interesting before they dip
You’ll be absolved of the bind, no sight, no mind... and a friendship slips
You were once beamed aboard, now you fell on a sword,
without reward

Ancillary in your story, you look better out of sight
You’re in a backseat every night, a backseat every night
Always stuck in purgatory, always barking with no bite
You’re in a backseat every night, a backseat every night
You thought life was fair!
You need a ride somewhere?

You were once called to come out of the cold
They sent you off with a secret; you went and told
You’re forgetting to pray, you eat 5 meals a day
You’re not okay

Ancillary in your story, you look better out of sight
You’re in a backseat every night, a backseat every night
Always stuck in purgatory, always barking with no bite
You’re in a backseat every night, a backseat every night
You thought life was fair!
You need a ride somewhere?
