Be On Your Own
Be on your own
You’ve’ always talked about your need to travel
Now go off, unravel on your own
Go find some restaurant attendant
Go show her how independent you have grown
Go on...
Be on your way
There’s not a single reason i can find
To make me want to keep you one more day
There isn’t any sort of word that you could say
There isn’t any sort of price that you could pay
There isn’t any sort of magic
To avoid this tragi-comic little play
We need to play
Be on your way
Go on...
No need to carry out this masquerade
When all that we’re about’s begun to fade
I set you free
There’s not much longer to complain
I’ll soon relieve you of your pain
When I set you free
If that is all you wish to have, then I agree
No need for thanks, your just rewards will be my fee
Go off and live your petty fictions
Full of blatant contradictions you can’t see
And what will be
Is that you’ll leave
And you’ll take with you all you own
From a to z
... And all of me
