Prodigal Style

This is why no-one comes over
This is why we got nothing nice
This is why we're broke on a payday
This is why we keep getting mice
This is why we jump on best offer
This is why we keep losing heat
This is why there's rain in the suitcase
This is why the cat lives down the street

These beautiful changes gonna sputter and stall
The middle of the jam grinds to a halt
Outfit prodigal style not a matter of fault

This is why the garden is muddy
This is why we fall down and fold
This is why we don't hear from family
This is why every comfort is cold
This is why we move with no plan
This is why we cant match a sock
This is why we cant face the postman
This is why we don't faint in shock

This common sense view not so hard to surmise
We might be in charge but it don't make us wise
Out grown prodigal style penny ante game lies
They say - "HEY- HEY - That's the way that it goes
First, your money, and then your clothes"
Sweet denial takes little while to fully acquire
Having you believing it then, you could go back again

This is why no-one comes over
This is why we got nothing nice
This is what we call a prodigal style
This is why we cant run away twice

This tontine of blame gonna run out of clock
The middle of the match burned out at the stalk
Out-lived prodigal style not a matter of fault
Can't say I blame you, it's not your fault
