oklahoma - Spearmint

He will sleep outside tonight

He caused a stir in town earlier

Up to his antics

Dressed as a cowboy

And singing his songs

They prefer not to think about him

Wandering and wandering around

Until you finally feel invisible

Hey, everybody knew you

But nobody knew your name

Hey, everybody knew you

But nobody spoke to you

And this is why

You were the only black man in this town

This lovely boring northern town

This is where the people they look right through you

This is where the people can gradually convince you

That you’re not really here

Until you’re not really here

Standing in the middle of Woolworths

In the middle of christmas

Singing Oklahoma!

At the top of your voice

Hey, I never spoke to you

Oh but I remember you

So how far can you go?

And still be ignored?

Hey, there’s a ghost in the centre of town

Standing outside Boots dressed as a cowboy

Shouting at the top of your voice

And brandishing your gun

«Bang»

Wandering and wandering around

Until you finally feel invisible

Oklahoma!

Oklahoma!

And then someone always pipes up and says

You chose that lifestyle

What?

Chose to sleep outside in the winter?

I don’t think so

Oklahoma!

Oklahoma!

And the strange thing is that now you’re gone

People almost seem to see you even more

Than when you were around

It’s the guilt that does that

Oklahoma!

Oklahoma!

Merry Christmas everybody!
