For the Children

She saw you waiting Calmly instead of the usual surprise Feeding off of lint (oh no my soul) And going to the store, just to stand and watch As Marla she says With a rise, she jokes and she fumbles, she stumbles far from here Like any other time Maybe only time If it weren't for the children, then could I be to blame My heart pumps slowly, so I stay the same And if you want to take me home And try to understand, i don't know Marla, Marla, Marla we pray to you holy Marla, Marla, Marla we pray to you holy They both dream of each other For one, it is the only time she shows any teeth As Rasputin calls through the wall and he says I will still choose a lover If it weren't for the children, then could I be to blame My heart pumps slowly, so I stay the same And if you want to take me home And try to understand, i don't know So hold me and tell me I'm to blame Hold me and tell me I'm to blame Hold me and tell me I'm to blame Hold me and tell me I'm to blame
