It's too early in the week to start practicing

Picking you up at the nearby airport taxi stand again

For you will either be there or you won't

There's no other way out of it

You are on your own

Try to make a day of it

You can't or you won't

All the things that you clearly missed as a kid

All the clues and they were all so poorly hid

You're lucky you made it now as far as you did

On the back of such flawed logic

You're on your own

If you could only see you practicing a speech

To a daughter nowhere near this ancient seaport beach

She will either be there or she won't

There's no other way out of it

You are on your own

Try to make a day of it

You can't or you won't

All the things that you clearly missed as a kid

All the clues and they were all so poorly hid

You're lucky that you made it now as far as you did

On the back of oh such flawed logic

You're on your own
