Mariam pulls my hair Makes me cry at lunch Mom says she wants to be my friend But I think she hates my guts Mariam chases me Kicks me in the teeth What did I ever do to her and How did she get so mean? Miriam ditches school That's the third all week Maybe she's tired of pulling my hair And kicking me in the teeth Mariam comes to class With a big fat bruise Kids say she got in another fight But Mariam never loses Maybe she's not so mean Maybe she's not so mean Mariam rides the bus That's the first all week All of the seats are taken So I let her sit by me

You've been pulling me around And you're so unaware I could orbit your mind As the days turn to years Now I know why the moon seems to follow you home Used to have caution but now I've got longing And no one else will suffice Pulling me up and then dragging me down Oh my darlin' Oh my darlin' Yeah I envy the moon cause he follows you home Didn't know how I craved you, now I know Yeah I envy the moon cause he follows you home Didn't know how I craved you, now I know Infinite stars in the sky Only shootin' for you Got that look in your eye I don't know what to do Now I know why the moon seems to follow you home I want you to see me I need you to need me Without you I'm nothing at all Your gravity's pulling, it renders me useless My darlin' Oh my darlin' Yeah I envy the moon cause he follows you home Didn't know how I craved you, now I know Yeah I envy the moon cause he follows you home Didn't know how I craved you, now I know Yeah I envy the moon cause he follows you home Didn't know how I craved you now I know Yeah I envy the moon cause he follows you home Didn't know how I craved you, now I know
