Guess You Don't Mind

So you didn't die young and famous
And no one's bangin down your door
The problem is never where the pain is
So you don't know what you're looking for

I forgot all the questions
I was gunna ask you
Like why the mask is in your mind
And how do you do?

But I guess that you don't mind

Just like the prodigal poet
The one who got away with words
He came back and he said what he wanted to say
Nobody heard

Happy heavy dark and beautiful baby
You could be your own hero tonight
You be dancin on the stairs well aware like Fred Astaire
Not everything will turn out all right

But I guess that you don't mind

Lois Lane didn't know who she was in love with
Nothin wrong with tights and a cape
But the further you get into dependency
The more romanticised becomes the escape

She was just another girl in a whirl
Sunshine in her frown
No matter how many hero's embraces she fell from
Her feet never touched the ground

But I guess that you don't mind

Who was that guy who had it all worked out
What ever happened to him
He must have left in a huff one day
Thinking the light was too dim

First you gotta learn to put up a fight
Then you gotta learn to sing
And if you always have to have things work out right
You're never gunna learn a thing

Everybody wants to be spiritual
And all the spirits wanna wear your body
I was thinkin bout buyin a trailer
Livin in the woods and learning Karate

I was talkin to the Velveteen Rabbit
He was sayin that there's nothin new
That judging books by their cover
Is just force of habit
He didn't mention you

But I guess that you don't mind
