A Distant History

This fascination
where did it come from?
what does it mean
when you're fascinated by things?

but you know, you'll never see

i overheard this conversation
as it started to belong to me

you're convinced that where you're born is where you're from
no, your convinced that where you're born is not where you're from
it's only where you're
waiting to see it through
and not understanding why i had to

be reminded that i'll tell you when i
waiting for longer than i had to
or could you just tell me now
couldnt you tell me, now?

even more money spent
nothing left to go round
even more money spent
nothing left to go round

all these descriptions
where did they come from?
do they describe what you mean perfectly
and how can i explain to you
how i know that
it's a natual order of the things that i believe

you're convinced that where you're born is where you're from
no, you're convinced that where you're born is not where you're from
it's only where you're
waiting to see it through
not understanding why i had to

be reminded that i'll tell you when i
waiting for longer than i had to
or could you just tell me now?
couldn't you tell me, now?

even more money spent
nothing left to go round
even more money spent
nothing left to go round
