The Catbird Seat

Here I am now
 It took some time to come around
 Sometimes I think it took me down
 Sometimes I think
 In the catbird seat
 The only trees were on my street
 The only step was at my door
 Into a city I stood for
 Here I have been
 This view with a room and a stupid grin
 Not fit to choose which shoes to fit in
 Not fit to choose
 Here I have found
 That you can sink on solid ground
 Words like that don't make a sound
 When something looks sturdy
 In the catbird seat
 The only shoes were on my feet
 In them I walked Mass Avenue
 Street-wise and see-through
 ♪
 By you I swore
 By the light or the way you wore it
 Now instead, I swear I'm over it
 ♪
 In the catbird seat
 The only dreams were in my sleep
 And all the things I ever owned
 Were in boxes I borrowed
