Lyrics for No Name #1
At a party he was waiting Looking kind of spooky and withdrawn Like he could be underwater The mighty mother with her hundred arms Swept all aside I hate to walk behind Other people's ambition I saw you waiting Saint-like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 He got nervous, started whistling Every thought a ricochet Did you notice? Well, I wondered What's the worst thing I could say? 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
