Heads popped up
The last week of blare.
A thousand different men,
The same feelings shared.
Eyes were all blurry
From sleepless nights.
It was all adding up.
This must be a sign.
His shoulders were sore
Just like he was told --
Something about
"You reap what you sow."
He digs up the past
Every time he comes home,
Hearing his mom
Talk to his aunt on the phone.
Is destiny calling my name?
Michael,
Michel,
Mikhail put a label on you.
England,
France,
Here's to Scandinavia.
Hey, kids,
You're so precious.
You're just a boy
Like the rest of us.
Work it out.
I like a good story
As much as the next guy.
I like a tearjerker
That makes me cry.
But you're scaring the kids
And it's past bedtime.
You're pulling at tears
Into their curious minds.
"Never again,"
Is what we all say.
"Never again!"
Oh, we'll all end up dead.
You talk tales
That follow and surround me
When all I ever wanted
Was your arms around me.
Mary,
Maria,
Marley the adventurous.
Harlem,
Spain;
Don't forget the Irish.

You're just a girl
