Theater Girl

Where have you wandered since the last time I saw you?

To what god now do you pray?

We sat in those treetops in those warm afternoons

passing that slow time away

And the crickets chirped and mosquitos bit the way we knew they would

and back in those days sitting there away.. it seemed so good

You could never figure a scheme you could fit in,

your plight was about the same as mine

An answer then you showed me too late upon the road

for then it seemed like it would be a crime

However long it takes you, to do the things you should

all those days of strugglin' away.. it seems so good

You'll never return there tho, neither will I

It's a life we both have outgrown

Our characters there have played their roles and said all they can say

and it's too late, our covers have been blown

Besides things there are different now, it turned out like we thought it would

and today more than ever away.. it seems so good

What it was you were thinkin' of, I thought I understood

Away the doctor said must be the cure

I guess the away you set your sights on was a bit too far for me

but unlike me you had to know for sure

Happiness may be given to you if you meet Robin Hood

People they read fairy tales because away.. it seems so good

Fate can play a stranger game than I could ever guess

Like wisps of smoke lookin' back behind

And if you made it this far babe then you'll know what I mean

there is always a new hill to climb

And even if it's out of a pit that's filled with your own blood

You know that you'll make it because away.. it seems so good

I've seen confusion pass this way over many a face

It can spread like some contageous disease

Rendering victims judgmentless, fearing for their pride

waiting for the day of their release

This home we now live in, of plastic, steel, and wood

We are living here today because away.. it seemed so good
