Who says the words
That keep you awake
Who comes to stay
And gets sent away
Maybe there is someone
Maybe there is not
You pay your rent
You work, you wash, so what?
I forgot your address
I may forget your name
I still own the begging bowl
Bottom of the honour roll
To take your moods and not complain
And beg to serve you all my days
Chained to the place
Where we used to lay
Chained by your rage
Chained on to me
You sent away the beggar
And you still taste defeat
You lie awakе
Between our sheets
Who will stop the ceiling
Closing in on you?
I still own thе begging bowl
Bottom of the honour roll
To take your moods and not complain
And beg to serve you all my days
I still own the begging bowl
Back to serve you once again
To take your moods and not complain
And beg to serve you all my days
