Well, I walked in on you, then you walked out on me
And that was when it happened – the end of history

But I think you know it wasn’t
I remember it was you who told me

I think I know these pigeons
They were once beggars
From another life
Once I myself was stuck like them
I was never
Without the thought of food

My wife’s got dangerously good
Peripheral vision
She can see things so far to the side
