Volunteer |
My lover left me, she left me too soon. |
I shouldn’t blame her, for the state of my room. |
I started stumbling, chasing the bells. |
The metal straps upon my knees made this sound when I fell |
You heard those words from your peers, I was just your volunteer. |
We love uncle Georgie, uncle Georgie’s our friend. |
He spends his life fishing, washes dishes weekends. |
And I tried to say something sincere, sign me up I’ll volunteer. |
My Father left us, he left us too soon. |
I thought he’s say something, but he waltzed from the room. |
All I remember is my hands at my sides. |
The face of a woman who once was his bride. |
All that he left her was tears, and a couple of lonely volunteers. |
We look for sister Mary, sister Mary the pale. |
She holds her head sometimes and walks close to the rail. |
She sings on Sunday, stands in the stairs. |
Haunts me at night time when I’ve forgotten my prayers. |
We don’t see much of her here, that winter-weary volunteer. |
Captains need order it helps them stay sane. |
Plumbers hate slaughter, 'cause it fucks up your drain. |
Hard hats must be worn at all times on the site. |
It don’t make no difference if you’re lost in the light. |
The men here have lost their careers and they don’t talk to volunteers. |
How your life cuts me, it cuts to my bone. |
We pretend that it’s nothing, when we’re on our way home. |
And I wish you’d abandon me here so I could be your volunteer. |
