08 SONS AND DAUGHTERS Lyrics

On a blue antique night / In early October / His wavy brown hair / Stuck wet to his shoulder / And its click, click, click / Go the heels of his feet / Listen / How long has it been since the boyfriend has visited / The milk?s in a pile by the door / Her series is playing on terrestrial T.V. the neighbours they don?t even know / And its click, click, click / Go the heels of his feet / Listen / Did you hang her out to dry? / The meal that she was going to eat for her dinner / Is left on a plate by the stove / While there?s unopened bills and letters and junk mail / All strewn on the mat by the door / And its click, click click / Go the heels of his feet / Listen / Did you hang her out to dry? / Rama lama lama / Shake, shake, shake, shake / How long has it been since the boyfriend has visited / The papers are filling the close / While she?s face down on porcelain / An inchful of bathwater / The neighbours they don?t even know or care / And its drip, drip, drip / Goes the tap on her ankles / Listen / Did you hang her out to dry? / Rama lama lama / Shake, shake, shake, shake
