open up the window


open up the window
I want to hear the neighbors arguing
that's been my main entertainment
since I've been unemployed
I want to know my world
and see if there is trouble brewing
I need something to compete with
the life I once enjoyed

open up the window
somewhere I hear sirens
children are all yelling
as children will do
slamming the front door
stomping on dandelions
looking for some trouble
to get into

open up the window
let me hear the city
horns honking in bad traffic
flies buzzing in mid-air
it's so lonely by yourself
it isn't very pretty
open up the window
let me know life is out there
