Disappearing Act

You quit'school age twelve

I was almost seven

And quite impressed by your

Intelligence

Obviously you

Already knew

All that there was to know

And were free to go



Fourteen years old

Boy, you sure could drive

And sometimes you'd let me sit

Right by your side

Some years later on

We would sit and drink

I saw how you unwrapped

Your disappearing act



You know I always looked up to you, I admired you

I'm not a kid I could kid

I won't kid myself

Hard as I try those are just stale emotions now

So I might as well lead them into their end

Please let it end



You walked your own way

I respect you for that

Here everything looks the same

To eyes untrained

Good morning sun

Open up the streets

I'm thinking which record to

Put on repeat



You know I always looked up to you, I admired you

But I'm not some kid I could kid

I won't kid myself

I will do what it takes to climb out of these days

I will change, I'll behave

Or at least I'll behave

Yes I'll behave



Hell yes, I always looked up to you, I admired you

But I'm not some kid I could kid

I won't kid myself

Yes, I'll do what it takes to climb up from these days

I will change, I'll behave

But at least I must say:

I'm not for sale



Run sister run

You are free to go
