When you finally scaled the wall Thinking you had heard the siren singing What you really heard was a broken bird Making out like it's a dove When you stole the soldier's car Everybody knew what you were thinking Ivory towers and lover's flowers But no one thought you were a fool You never stopped to notice all The stolen clothes stacked in the hall From the others who scaled the wall just to Find themselves run off the road When you showed up from the farm Visions of the summer flying past you The foxes had torn up The mother and her pups And the well was full of flies When you walked down to the pond Searching for the lover guiding you It had been filled in with rusty nails and then You finally knew that you were lost But no one thought you were a fool Even though everyone knew That your road was the same With just a different name As those who'd escaped before you You never stopped to notice all The loose change strewn in the hall From the others who scaled the wall just to Find themselves run off the road
