"the people stare" - lyrics by me and Michael Friedman 

I AM STANDING ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF A TOWN

ALL THESE PEOPLE STARE

THEY STARE

THE ROAD IS FORKED DOES IT LEAD ME TO MY HOME?

AND THE PEOPLE STARE

THEY STARE

OUTSIDE OF A BAR

THE PEOPLE STARE

THE ROAD SEEMS DIFFERENT OR MAYBE I HAVE CHANGED

I WONDER IF I’VE CHANGED

I’VE CHANGED

AND MAYBE EVERY TOWN YOU SEE IS SOMEHOW THE SAME

EVERYTHING’S THE SAME

THE SAME

I STOP TO TIE MY SHOE

THE PEOPLE STARE

DO I KNOW THEM?

DO THEY KNOW ME?

I REMEMBER SOMETHING

CHARLIE AND A LIGHT

A TRAIN A SHIP

THE SKY SO BRIGHT

ABOVE

AND BEFORE ALL THAT

AN EMPTY SPACE

A STARLESS NIGHT

THEN THEY ASK ME IF THIS PLACE IS MY HOME

IS THIS MY HOME?

MY HOME

I LOOK OUT TO THE STREET BELOW

THIS THING IS CALLED A WINDOW

AND IT DOESN’T CHANGE

THAT THING IS CALLED A CHURCH

THE BELLS ARE RINGING

THE CHURCH HAS CHANGED
