South Hampton Avenue

She lies in bed out of her head sucking a cigarette

Closing her eyes she really tries to make believe she's dead

But she's not

She's not

In the next tomb her old man's room it's another night

He slips away on cathode ray into the TV light

Yea it's on

But he's gone



We live on South Hampton Avenue

We'll leave the welcome light on for you

Now that you think you know who we are

How do you like us so far



Right down the stairs my mom is there under the mushroom cloud

Sometimes she sits sometimes she knits sometimes she talks out loud

To herself

She's allowed



Hanging on the wall up and down the hall pictures of family

My brother Dave is on display for all the world to see

Now he's gone

He moved on





We live on South Hampton Avenue

I've got a feelin' that so do you...
