about

A song about attaining self-worth and raising personal standards.

lyrics

Sometime in the last century, someone like you coulda gotten to get me. For common sense I was running on empty. My tank was full of fear and envy.

But you can be sure: I won't be hanging 'round your town no more.
You can rest assured: I won't be hanging 'round your town no more.

Way back in a distant past life someone like you coulda made me your wife. Maybe wartime. Revolution rife. At minimum, existential strife time.

And I'm not even allowed there. And If I were, still never be found there. I can't remember my way around there. I'd get so lost just like you'd want me to.

In a time when I was stupider, maybe I woulda joined your mission to Jupiter. Tried on helmets. Trained for space flight. But never mind since I've gotten my head right.
