You thought nobody cared but I did, I could tell
Singing, "We're so glad that you finally made it here
I'll change the directions, I'll hit every street
She could poke at the greed, she could fend off her need
And oh oh oh, you're aging, oh oh oh, and I am aging
She turned 'round the corner with music around her
'Cause lower calf, upper arm should be half what they are
And this is your year and it always starts here
I was breaking the laws that the signmakers made
It said, "Don't hold us back, we're the story you tell"
With the things you know now, that only time could tell
And that's not a story I was meant to survive
Sayin', "You never can win
Now I know a woman with a collection of sticks
The road to enchantment was not mine to take
They say, "I'm so glad that you finally made it here
Now when I was fifteen, no I knew it was over
She could fight back the hundreds of voices she heard
No sooner than spoken the spell had been broken
And in anger she found she could pound every word
She goes out and steals the King's English
And oh oh oh, you're aging well"
She said, "I'm so glad that you finally made it here
Now you'll dance through the days while the orchestra plays
Violins, basses and woodwinds and cellos
And the voices before her were trumpets and tympani
She gave me the language that keeps me alive
An' I was all out of choices but the woman of voices
And all I could eat was the poisonous apple
Looking back, seeing far, landing right where we are
But one voice got through and caught her up by surprise
You thought nobody cared, but we did, we could tell
So I'm gonna steal out with my paint and my brushes
And oh oh oh, you're aging well"
It's the Tinseltown scandal, the Robin Hood vandal
I don't like the signs that the signmakers made
And in the morning you wake up and the signs point to you
Watch your back, where's your husband?"
