Won't give no bribe for the sign above the doorway
Cos you know every child remembers a bad birthday
Too many people are terrified of change
What scares me more is the fear of staying the same
Just give up, Jessica.
Sing happy birthday to the child who was forgotten
Scream hallelujah for the gravestones in the garden
A happy hostage, black and blue, demands forgiveness
Unhappy fugitive removing her own witness
Just give up, Jessica.
So break the door down we'll be waiting you won't bruise us
Just break and enter cos you know you won't get through us
I'm staying put, a frozen waif, keeping vigil
Palms flat upon the stony flags here in the kitchen.
Just give up, Jessica.
