Overseas Now
Mal Blum

You clean the bathroom

On your hands and on your knees

Wearing latex gloves

That you borrow from her

I don’t know what you think you’re doing

But you’re doing it for free

Do you know even what you’re doing anymore?


I know it’s not my business

And I know it’s not my right

But the expression on your face

Looks so awkward and contrived


But I know it’s not my business

And I know it’s not my right

And I don’t know what to call it,

But I wouldn’t call it


Oh, I’m a rising star, I’m a sinking ship

You’re a work of art, something delicate

You’re my mother’s son

You’re my favorite song

I’m the things you hide

When you turn the lights back on


I’m a one, or two, or three page explanation

You’re a getaway vacation

That I hoped would bring salvation

It did not

And it’s killing me

You were the only person

Who could understand

The things I think inside my head

And somehow you forgot


I dated Audrey Hepburns

Just to be Paul Varjack

And I picked up all the paychecks

But I never called them back

I guess I wasn’t fooling anybody

But I never knew myself

As well as I knew how to act


And I know it’s not my business


And I know it’s not my right

But you crawl into my bed

In the middle of the night

And you ask me not to leave you

But you don’t ask me to stay

And I never can say no

When you look at me like that


I’m a rising star, I’m a sinking ship

You’re a work of art, something delicate


You’re my mother’s son

No, you’re my favorite song

I’m the things you hide

When you turn the lights back on


I’m a one, or two or three page explanation

That you wouldn’t take the time

To give to anyone at all


I’m a one, or two or three page explanation

That you wouldn’t take the time

To give to anyone

Anyone at all


Are you overseas now?

With the drugs

And all the men

Or are you dead


Or hiding in your loft

Behind your papers and your pens

Just how we met


I never did believe a word they said

The bluest blues

The reddest reds


I never did believe a word they said

They made it up

Even the end
