Did you take your mother's name

So you could sleep easily

She took you back too late

And now you never even call



Did you take that money drawer

While she was praying

They said you disappeared

Just like water down a drain



Chorus:

Why'd you call me?

Must be back

Disappointed man

Where've you been

Hide yourself so well

In this city

Disappointed man



Did you sell your father's ring

So you could stay one more night

It shone like his glass eye

In the worn velvet case



Did you fill this hired room

with guilty words

Your white piano hands

flutter like poison birds



Chorus
