We Don’t Wanna Be People
Jeremy Willis
We will turn away
From the things that we don't say
On the fire escape
It's gotta be the closest way
We don't wanna be people
Feel your fingertips
And the breath across your lips
The way your mouth tastes
And the light that strikes your face
Getting sick of headcolds
Getting up for work
Every story ending
Covered up with dirt
We don't wanna be people
Gotta take the laundry
Gotta make new keys
Gotta pay the phone bill
Help me darlin please
We don't wanna be people
