Brit was right when she said we should worry
The boys outside ran in a hurry
Mom held tight to the ground it was made of grass

Then the house burnt down so fast

School at night lead to heads filled with blurry

The games of pride were storm-like in their fury
I had made light of being picked last
As the house burnt down so fast


And as you pry
I thought that I'd forgotten

And as you pry
I thought that I'd forgotten


Graced all the papers
The story of the neighbors
The house burnt down so fast

Late to wake and office
Explaining to the bosses
The house burnt down the past


To keep the peace and fix the place
You stayed in hotels

To keep the peace and stay sane
I went to Victoria's


You stayed in hotels
You stayed in hotels


Why I ran away, I'll never know
Why I ran away, I'll never know
Why I ran away, I'll never know

Never ever know
Never ever know
