Don't Feed the Rats
STEPHEN DUFFY
The world is full of missing girls
Geraldine, Janes and Ophelias
Who go for a walk and then don't come back
Say I'll be okay, just not today
Nothing is wrong
Nothing is right
The funeral cortege pulls out of the street
There's nobody home and we're more alone
She wanted to see everything there is
I hope that she did
Beautiful kid
Nothing is wrong
Nothing is right
Don't feed the rats
Don't let them in
They're never too rich
They're never too thin
She thought she could steal flowers from the spring
For when she walked, she used to sing
Nothing is wrong
But now nothing is right
Nothing, nothing, nothing
