Yours Probably

It started with the zygote of a joke

Teasing out the theory to provoke

I laughed them all off

Grapes of my own wrath

But spilt milk never did me any harm

Skate across the surface

Barely even worth it

Till the straw caught

On the last resort

Now there's not a day goes

By it don't burrow deeper

Under the surface

Am I my mother's keeper?

And does it matter now that

We all grew up and moved on?

Will I learn to forget

What I was never supposed to know?

I'm gonna live with it

I'm gonna wear it like a badge

An albatross always becomes a man

I'm gonna bury it

And we will speak of it no more

Inside a treasure chest a golden bruise

Who

Am I?

And as the fog lifts

The old foundations crumble

But if the cap fits

Why not just take a tumble?

If the fancy takes me

Well I don't think that

Makes me any better

Than any one of you

I'm gonna live with it

I'm gonna wear it like a badge

An albatross always becomes a man

And do you think I will be able to help?

Cause I lie through my teeth

I'm no authority on anything but playing the fool

Who

Am I?

Quiet head

And a noisy heart

Where do you end?

And where do I start?

I'm yours probably

Yours probably

Quiet head

And a noisy heart

Where do you end?

And where do I start?

I'm yours

Little did I know that all that time

They were keeping from me what was mine

All wrapped up within

The all embracing arms of kith and kin

Never even looking for a sign

Just goes to show it's not what you know

But who

Cuckoo

Cuckoo

Cuckoo

Cuckoo

Cuckoo

Cuckoo

Cuckoo

Cuckoo

Cuckoo

Cuckoo

Cuckoo

Cuckoo

Quiet head

And a noisy heart

Where do you end?

And where do I start?

I'm yours probably

Yours probably

Quiet head

And a noisy heart

Where do you end

And where do I start?

I'm yours probably

Yours probably

Yours probably

Yours probably

Yours probably

Yours probably

Yours probably

Yours

There is

A happy ending

Like always

Before I wake
