Stranger In Her Door
STRANGER IN HER DOOR
Her Kid looks at her:
You really want to live?
Your life is over
Gimme gimme give
She’s surprised
Been waiting all her life
run off to Africa
play the drum and fife
Who’s this kid
Standing in her door
Used to be a baby
Crawling on the floor
Used to be a toddler
Loving her to death
Who's this stranger
Sucking out her breath?
