the windows of my soul are made of one way glass don't bother looking into my eyes if there's something you want to know, just ask i got a dead bolt stroll where i'm going is clear i won't wait for you to wonder i'll just tell you why i'm here 'cause i know the biggest crime is just to throw up your hands say this has nothing to do with me i just want to live as comfortably as i can you got to look outside your eyes you got to think outside your brain you got to walk outside you life to where the neighborhood changes tell me who is your boogieman that's who i will be you don't have to like me for who i am but we'll see what you're made of by what you make of me i think that it's absurd that you think i am the derelict daughter i fight fire with words words are hotter than flames words are wetter than water i got friends all over this country i got friends in other countries too i got friends i haven't met yet i got friends i never knew i got lovers whose eyes i've only seen at a glance i got strangers for great grandchildren i got strangers for ancestors i was a long time coming i'll be a long time gone you've got your whole life to do something and that's not very long so why don't you give me a call when you're willing to fight for what you think is real for what you think is right
