Yours Probably

It started with the zygote of a joke
Teasing out the theory to provoke
I laughed them all off
Grapes of my own wrath

But spilt milk never did me any harm
Skate across the surface
Barely even worth it
Till the straw caught
On the last resort

Now there's not a day goes
By it don't burrow deeper
Under the surface
Am I my mother's keeper?
And does it matter now that
We all grew up and moved on?
Will I learn to forget
What I was never supposed to know?

I'm gonna live with it
I'm gonna wear it like a badge
An albatross always becomes a man
I'm gonna bury it
And we will speak of it no more
Inside a treasure chest a golden bruise

Who
Am I?

And as the fog lifts
The old foundations crumble
But if the cap fits
Why not just take a tumble?
If the fancy takes me
Well I don't think that
Makes me any better
Than any one of you

I'm gonna live with it
I'm gonna wear it like a badge
An albatross always becomes a man
And do you think I will be able to help?
Cause I lie through my teeth
I'm no authority on anything but playing the fool

Who
Am I?

Quiet head
And a noisy heart
Where do you end?
And where do I start?
I'm yours probably
Yours probably
Quiet head
And a noisy heart
Where do you end?
And where do I start?
I'm yours

Little did I know that all that time
They were keeping from me what was mine
All wrapped up within
The all embracing arms of kith and kin
Never even looking for a sign
Just goes to show it's not what you know
But who

Cuckoo
Cuckoo
Cuckoo
Cuckoo
Cuckoo
Cuckoo
Cuckoo
Cuckoo
Cuckoo
Cuckoo
Cuckoo
Cuckoo

Quiet head
And a noisy heart
Where do you end?
And where do I start?
I'm yours probably
Yours probably
Quiet head
And a noisy heart
Where do you end
And where do I start?
I'm yours probably
Yours probably
Yours probably
Yours probably
Yours probably
Yours probably
Yours probably
Yours

There is
A happy ending
Like always
Before I wake
