Southbound - Momus

I’m southbound

I had a bad day

I’ll fade away

Underneath the apple tree

Move along, there’s nothing to see

I’m only here in theory

You made your last mistake

The last straw you will ever break

In the apple grove

You’ve decayed, you’ve lost your way

And I’m skipping out

Absent without leaving

I’m only dead in theory

But I’m still breathing

Bleeding

I’m only here in theory

Since I found out

What you’re all about

I’ve been banging this drum

In the library room

My feelings won’t spill

So you’ll never find out

I’m leaving

I’m all clapped out

In the apple grove

I’m southbound

I’m heading for another town

I’m running round and round

Absent without leaving

I’m still breathing

Staying on as a thorn in your side

I’m banging this drum

I’m banging my head

On your glass ceiling

I told you I’m leaving

My feelings won’t show

So you’ll never know

I’m leaving

And the apple grove

Is where I’ll rove

I’m southbound

I had a bad day

And now I fade away

Underneath the apple tree

Move along

There’s nothing to see…
