You Puttem All To Shame

You crossed a black cat's path when you encountered me

Somebody should have said this here was a carnival

The only way out again's back through the livingroom

Which you were just driven from on account of your destiny

You, with your vacant heart throwing your weight around

Just like you owned the joint or like you knew someone

Making your crass remarks into their fold-out smiles

As all of their watches chimed and somewhere a sailor drowned

Tears like a jet-streamed sky raking your made-up face

I caught a glimpse of you inside the hallway meer

You looked like a vagabond you looked like a stolen wife

Or what is the word for it? you looked simply out of place
