Mal Blum - Overseas Now lyrics

You clean the bathroom On your hands and on your knees Wearing latex gloves That you borrow from her I don't know what you think you're doing But you're doing it for free Do you know even what you're doing anymore? I know it's not my business And I know it's not my right But the expression on your face Looks so awkward and contrived But I know it's not my business And I know it's not my right And I don't know what to call it But I wouldn't call it Oh, I'm a rising star, I'm a sinking ship You're a work of art, something delicate You're my mother's son You're my favorite song I'm the things you hide When you turn the lights back on I'm a one, or two, or three page explanation You're a getaway vacation That I hoped would bring salvation It did not And it's k**ing me You were the only person Who could understand The things I think inside my head And somehow you forgot I dated Audrey Hepburns Just to be Paul Varjack And I picked up all the paychecks But I never called them back I guess I wasn't fooling anybody But I never knew myself As well as I knew how to act And I know it's not my business And I know it's not my right But you crawl into my bed In the middle of the night And you ask me not to leave you But you don't ask me to stay And I never can say no When you look at me like that I'm a rising star, I'm a sinking ship You're a work of art, something delicate You're my mother's son No, you're my favorite song I'm the things you hide When you turn the lights back on I'm a one, or two or three page explanation That you wouldn't take the time To give to anyone at all I'm a one, or two or three page explanation That you wouldn't take the time To give to anyone Anyone at all Are you overseas now? With the d** And all the men Or are you dead Or hiding in your loft Behind your papers and your pens Just how we met I never did believe a word they said The bluest blues The reddest reds I never did believe a word they said They made it up Even the end
