Lyrics

(How... how does it go?)
 ♪
 (That's the right song right now)
 At a party, he was waiting
 Looking kind of spooky and withdrawn like he could be underwater
 The mighty mother with her hundred arms swept all aside
 I hate to walk behind other people's ambition
 I saw you waiting, saint-like with your warning
 Leave alone, you don't belong here
 ♪
 You got nervous, started whistling, every thought a ricochet
 "Did you notice?"
 Well, I wondered, what's the worst thing I could say?
 And I froze up inside
 You remind me of someone's daughter, I forgot her
 I forgot her name, ashamed
 Go home and live with your pain, leave alone
 Leave alone 'cause you know you don't belong
 You don't belong here
 ♪
 And when I go, don't you follow, leave alone
 Leave alone 'cause you know you don't belong
 You don't belong here
 Slip out quiet, nobody's looking
 Leave alone, you don't belong here
