It Beats Me

Did I watch you wash away your life
And polish up the forks and knives
And left the kitchen crystal clear
Did you put me in my resting place
Beside the cups there was no place for fear

There's someone calling for me
Just see a new talk
Don't listen to me

We go through the hoops
Before you know it beats me

Did I watch you wash away your life
And polish up the forks and knives
And I watch the crystal disappear
Did I try to run to your defence
And make some jokes at my expense
And watch you boil some water for the sake of it

There's someone calling for me
Just see a new talk
Don't listen to me

Hail Mary, motherless grace
