i went to your street
at seven in the mornin`
and while you were asleep
i read your newspaper
i saw you out walkin`
out walkin` with your father
pretendin` not to see me
pretendin` to be a family
i know you tried, baby
i know you tried
i know you tried to go on
saw a metal object
lyin` in the street
and when we turned away
it stood itself up
you circled the island
in a chevy caprice
you stuck out your tongue
and your nose began to bleed
i know you tried, baby
i know you tried
i know you tried to go on
i know you tried, baby
i know you tried
i know you tried to go on
