Brid was right when she said we should worry
Boys outside ran in a hurry
Mom held tight to the ground, it was made of grass
Then the house burnt down so fast
School at night led to heads filled with blurry
Games of pride were storm-like in their fury
I had made light of being picked last
As the house burnt down so fast
As you pry, I thought that I'd forgotten
Graced all the papers
Story of the neighbors
The house burnt down so fast
Late to wake and office
Explaining to the bosses
The house burnt down the past
To keep the peace and fix the place, you stayed in hotels
To keep a piece and stay sane, I went to Victoria's
Why I ran away, I'll never know
