When you finally scaled the wall   Thinking you had heard the siren singing   What you really heard was a broken bird   Making out like it's a dove   When you stole the soldier's car   Everybody knew what you were thinking   Ivory towers and lover's flowers   But no one thought you were a fool   You never stopped to notice all   The stolen clothes stacked in the hall   From the others who scaled the wall just to   Find themselves fun off the road      When you showed up at the farm   Visions of the summer flying past you   The foxes had torn up   The mother and her pups   And the well was full of flies   When you walked down to the pond   Searching for the lover guiding you   It had been filled in with rusty nails and then   You finally knew that you were lost      No one thought you were a fool   Even though everyone knew   What you wrote was the same   Just a different name   Of those who escaped before you.
