History's made its mark in anger
As everybody knows it's what we do
It's nothing new


The next chords struck are fault and failure
And we both know that finger points on cue

There's blame for two

Do you really want him coming Newo?

Do you really think he's coming back to you?
Oh, Once the world stops spinning, read that writing on the wall.


Is there another. Newo?
Is there cushion just enough to break my fall
Oh, don't you cry

Just lie there baby in the past, Cause if you want it all right now

Hide your feathers, on the back porch, baby

He's coming home for... you've... been... such... a liar
Hide your feathers,Little back porch lady
You're too old... enough to cry those sorry eyes out over the world


Hear me scream outside your window
I'm only here to make my peace with you...

There's something new

Oh, it was our time, that day in our lives

If I could do things different, what would I choose?
Oh, don't you cry, Mama.
Please, don't cry Mama.

Oh, don't you cry, no, no.

Right now! hide your feathers on the back porch, baby.

He's coming home for... you've... been... such... a liar.
Hide your feathers, little back porch lady
You're too old... enough to cry those sorry eyes out over the world


No other would wait for a lover to embrace, boy
when there's no more room for love,

You'll sell her off to the sharks

No other, would wait for a lover.

To embrace, boy, when there's no more room for love,
You'll sell her off to the sharks


Right now! hide your feathers on the back porch, baby.
He's coming home for you've... been... such... a liar.
Right now! hide your feathers on the back porch, baby.

He's coming home for you've... been... such... a liar.
Hide your feathers, little back porch lady
To open up to cry your sorry eyes out


Wait a minute, little back porch lady
Wait a minute, little back porch lady (I'm in love)

Wait a minute, little back porch lady
Oh don't you cry, Mama
Oh, don't you cry, no, no

Wait a minute, little back porch lady
Wait a minute, little back porch lady (I'm in love)
Wait a minute, little back porch lady

Oh don't you cry, Mama
Oh don't you cry, no, no
