Sitting Pretty

Whatever you need, follow my lead by the scruff of the neck
We're on the same team keeping it clean, show some respect
In a daze and there's no way of doubting it
A continuous loop and yet somehow I'm out of it

Trying to sit pretty somewhere it the city
Somewhere in the city, life is pretty shitty
The phone never rings

You know it's not real gold, but do as you're told it's all I could muster
She's right for the role, under control, the children can trust her
Trying to raise a home from the rubble
Escape in the long run ain't nothing but trouble

Trying to sit pretty somewhere it the city
Somewhere in the city, life is pretty shitty
Lying beneath the bed, blue like a siren

They'll call you a liar down to the wire and back to the start
I sit on the last bus knowing that I must pick it apart
Then I run and I think of where all rivers flow to, yeah
Then its beautiful and I remember distinctly I've no home to go to

Trying to sit pretty somewhere it the city
Somewhere in the city, life is pretty shitty
Excuse me while I vanish
