Shaking out the carpets
Dusting off the walls
Lungs ashed in cheap cigarettes
Your tongue’s drying out from the salt
Light shines from the highway
But it’s seemingly distant
Even on the brightest of days
Where, where will you go?
Don’t you know a home when you see it?
Ain’t you no good at being alone?
[Ain’t no good! Ain’t no good all alone!]
There’s no breaking the mold
The glass ceiling will shatter
And crumble on all that’s below
Shame sits at the table
Says that life is a game
Played only by the willing and able
Sit down, have a drink
Just to process and think
So he pulls up a chair
And a half-empty bottle of Patrón
Til the shame eases stares
And he realizes he’s drinking alone
Where, where will you go?
Don’t you know a home when you see it?
Ain’t you no good at being alone?
[Ain’t no good! Ain’t no good all alone!]
There’s no breaking the mold
The glass ceiling will shatter
And crumble on all that’s below
