For Robin

From The Pact2018

Lyrics

For Robin

In 1922 your mother cried For the first time that day And it was glorious In Jackson no mistake was made

Her attention always a cloud away It turned you into a clown You sorted through her hair You wore her slippers Tugged on her nightgown

But, it wasn't a shame It suited you quite well They took you for all they could A mollusk with no shell

And in the sandbox you weren't anyone You kept things to yourself Deep inside your chest A want to please everyone else

In 1982 your eyes were blue As they stared out at the crowd And they would stay that way Your jokes were good Your voice was loud

But, it wasn't a shame It suited you quite well They took you for all they could A mollusk with no shell

But, it wasn't a shame It suited you quite well They took you for all they could A mollusk with no shell

Your skin grew raw And you didn't speak to anyone Always a cloud away The rainbow fell to the ground But, Randy all the children still say

And in the sandbox you weren't anyone You kept things to yourself Deep inside your chest A want to please everyone else

But, it wasn't a shame It suited you quite well They took you for all they could A mollusk with no shell

But, it wasn't a shame It suited you quite well They took you for all they could A mollusk with no shell

But, it wasn't a shame It suited you quite well They took you for all they could A mollusk with no shell

But, it wasn't a shame It suited you quite well They took you for all they could A mollusk with no shell

But, it wasn't a shame It suited you quite well They took you for all they could A mollusk with no shell
