At a party he was waiting
Looking kind of spooky and withdrawn
Like he could be underwater
The mighty mother with her hundred arms swept all aside
I hate to walk behind other people's ambitions
I saw you waiting, saint-like, with your warning:

Leave alone
You don't belong here

Got nervous, started whistling, every thought a ricochet
Did you notice? Well, I wondered
"What's the worst thing I could say?"
Froze up inside
"You remind me of someone's daughter
I forgot her . . . I forgot her name, ashamed"
Go home, live with your pain

Leave alone
Leave alone, because you know you don't belong
You don't belong here

When I go, don't you follow

Leave alone
Leave alone, because you know you don't belong
You don't belong here

Slip out quiet nobody's looking
Leave alone, you don't belong here
