For the Children

She saw you waiting
 Calmly instead of the usual surprise
 Feeding off of lint (oh no my soul)
 And going to the store, just to stand and watch
 As Marla she says
 With a rise, she jokes and she fumbles, she stumbles far from here
 Like any other time
 Maybe only time
 If it weren't for the children, then could I be to blame
 My heart pumps slowly, so I stay the same
 And if you want to take me home
 And try to understand, i don't know
 Marla, Marla, Marla we pray to you holy
 Marla, Marla, Marla we pray to you holy
 They both dream of each other
 For one, it is the only time she shows any teeth
 As Rasputin calls through the wall and he says
 I will still choose a lover
 If it weren't for the children, then could I be to blame
 My heart pumps slowly, so I stay the same
 And if you want to take me home
 And try to understand, i don't know
 So hold me and tell me I'm to blame
 Hold me and tell me I'm to blame
 Hold me and tell me I'm to blame
 Hold me and tell me I'm to blame
