Lyrics

We never stop to wonder till a person's gone
We never yearn to know him till he's traveled on
When someone is around us, we never stop to ask
"Hey, what's behind your mirror? Hey, who's beneath your mask?"
We never stop to wonder till a person's gone
We never yearn to know him till he's packed and traveled on
Sweet Marilyn Monroe on the silvеr screen
Platinum reflection in a moviе magazine
Did you ever have a headache? Did your mama own a gramophone?
Did you like to be an actress? Were you scared to be alone?
We never stop to wonder till a person's gone
We never yearn to know him till he's traveled on
When someone is around us, we don't know what we're seeing
We take a Polaroid picture to find the human being
We never stop to wonder till a person's gone
We never yearn to know him till he's packed and traveled on
Sweet beautiful Jesus on a painted cross
Polystyrene body with a superficial gloss
Dear, were you jealous of your father?
Were you sure when you were fully grown?
Did you like to walk on water? Were you scared to be alone?
I think perhaps tomorrow I'll try to make a friend
To really get to know him instead of pretend
I'll ask him if his feet hurt, has he burdens to be shared?
And if he doesn't walk away, I'll ask him if he's scared
And if he doesn't walk away, if his eyes don't turn to stone
I'll ask him if he's scared to be alone
