Unsentimental, traveling around
Sure of my self, sure of it now
But you were standing so close to me
Like the future is supposed to be
In the aisles at the grocery
And the blocks uptown
I remember, remember well
But if I'd forgotten, could you tell?
In the shadow of your first attack
I was questioning and looking back
You said, baby, we don't speak of that
Like we're ar istocrats
Compound to compound,
lazy and safe
Wanted to leave it,
wanted to wait
When the taxi door was open wide,
I pretended I was horrified
By the uniform and gloves
outside of the courtyard gate
You're not a victim,
neither am I
Nostalgic for garbage,
desperate for time
I could blame it on your mother's hair
All the colors that your father wears
But I know love's never fair, you're always fine
Unsentimental, traveling around
Sure of myself, sure of it now
But you were standing
there so close to me
Like the future was supposed to be
In the aisles of the grocery
and the blocks uptown
I remember, remember well
An d if I'd forgotten,
what could you tell?
In the shadow of your first attack
I was questioning and looking back
You were standing on another track
Like a real aristocrat
