Papa is so bazaar
The way he prances
All around

Mama gets embarrassed
By the leaves upon
The ground

Papa is so passé
The way he dresses
On the street

Mama gets debased
By the company
She keeps

Papa is carefree
The way he collapses
In the bed

Mama is exhausted
By the voices
In her head

Papa does not wake
As he returns to
His dreams

Mama is suspended
In a state of
Loneliness

The Best Years of Our Lives
