I've been outnumbered, I swear
Everything's wrong: my accent,
My clothes, my eyes, the list is long
If I had a matchstick for
Every dream turned into a nightmare
I'd build a horse and
Kindly lead it to thunder
Heard them call me names, they called my name
From which all meaning's been drained
For a laugh, the itch to abuse and humiliate
But I don't care, I no longer care
Whatever I live for it's not there
I no longer go places
I only leave home
So well adjusted to the boredom
Through which life flows
My little sisters, their well-known features
Up on the bridge
Where are they going and why
What do they think of life and love
Heard them call my name, they called my name
Smiled and waved they saved my day
Yes I could walk with them and yes I'd love too but
It won't happen I'm waiting for a flashlight to come
Switch me back on again
Then I'll try to catch up and then I'll call their names
Ever since we moved here I've been outnumbered, I swear Everything's wrong: my accent, My clothes, my eyes, the list is long If I had a matchstick for Every dream turned into a nightmare I'd build a horse and Kindly lead it to thunder Heard them call me names, they called my name From which all meaning's been drained For a laugh, the itch to abuse and humiliate But I don't care, I no longer care Whatever I live for it's not there I no longer go places I only leave home So well adjusted to the boredom Through which life flows My little sisters, their well-known features Up on the bridge Where are they going and why What do they think of life and love Heard them call my name, they called my name Smiled and waved they saved my day Yes I could walk with them and yes I'd love too but It won't happen I'm waiting for a flashlight to come Switch me back on again Then I'll try to catch up and then I'll call their names Explain Request ×
