Lyrics

I DON'T KNOW YOU ANYMORE

She came to Birmingham by way of Baton Rouge
Poised and practiced in the ways of subterfuge
I used to know her as a girl with a certain charm
But when she held you, she held you at the length of an arm

Baby, I know now that everything has changed
You?ve come home to find your furniture has been rearranged
But something deeper is different from before
And I don?t think I know you anymore

I could see it in the way she closed her eyes
And pursed her lips as if to hold back a big surprise
She was the future, but now she feels so yesterday
What the camera giveth, the camera can also take away

Baby, I see now why all your dreams have died
Old Tom Wolfe couldn?t have put it better if he really tried
You can?t go home but you can crash here for awhile
Until you find a spot that makes you smile

INTERLUDE

So I told her come the morning she?d be fine
After all, she?d always had a hit man?s peace of mind
She acknowledged it was partly gift and partly curse
But when things go bad, it keeps the bad from turning worse

Baby, I recognize that everything seems wrong
And all you want is to find that place where you belong
But while it?s obvious I know a thing or two
Maybe I don?t know me as well as I don?t know you

Baby, I know now that everything has changed
You?ve come home to find your furniture has been rearranged
But it ain?t nothin? that some love and luck won?t cure
And you can tell me I don?t know you anymore
