91

It's '91, a war is on, I watch in black, white and green My mother dances around like there ain't no rip in the seam While she waltzes with ghosts, I can feel what went wrong And she's here but she's not, just like her I'm not home Just like her, I'm not home Just like her, I'm not home And I'm here, but I'm not Just like her, I'm not home And I'm here, but I'm not Storefronts changed, a new war on, so I rip floorboards from our place Blackout all our windows and then I kick them from their frames Now you can dance with anyone, tattoo yourself a fucking sleeve And you're here but you're not, just like you I can't leave Just like you, I can't leave Just like you, I can't leave Hey, I'm here, but I'm not Just like you, I can't leave I'm here, but I've been gone just a little too long now Oh, someone new walks along, steals the weight from your war Flickers of light, and you're sure that you have been here before Oh, she could have anyone, but she's asking after your dreams Yeah, I know what I'm not, but looking at you, I can't leave Just like you, I can't leave Just like you, I can't leave Oh, I know what I'm not Just like you, I can't leave I know what I'm not Just like you, I can't leave I'm here, but I'm not Just like you, I can't leave I'm here, but I'm not Just like you, I can't leave Gone just a little too long now
