i am dorothy waking up in kansas
i have lost all sense of place
i have seen the ugly and the beautiful
i’ve seen another life in your face

you were there and you were there
you had brawn and brains and grace
you gave me a sense of coming home again
the first time i saw your face

but

we’ve never really been here before
we’re taking the long way home tonight
we’d have to take another dozen detours
to show you where i’ve been in life

they did to me what they did to you
they did it in many different ways
they did it on 37 and fawn ave.
to remind me of my lowly place

they reminded me on main street
the threw rocks on bender road
they pulled a gun at crystal gas
now flash forward to our home

i was beaten down and defeated
though they barely left a mark
you’ve got my heart but i’ve got this fear
they’re waiting in the dark
