Oh no the kitchen is closed
If I feel it coming round I'll see it go
Oh stop worrying about it
The mortgage is paid
Yeah the money's well spent

And I will watch you
Go down to the dark place of the party
And stop there watch out
For your face to perspire

Go on telling me
That I don't need a job
Or a college degree
Throw up your caps and your gowns
Your shit out of luck
Your never leaving this town

Hang on to your family tree
They've given you everything you'll ever need
Don't take care and don't even write
You'll never see my face again after tonight

And I will watch you
Go down to the dark place of the party
And stop there watch out
For your face to perspire

And take everything that
I ever lent to your closet
I burned all your hangings around
And threw out the locket
