You keep your jealousy and your snide remarks to yourself

You know that I'm not seeing anyone else

You just keep your ear down to the ground

Yell your head off if you hear a sound

Here's a whistle, a badge and a phone

You can arrest me if I'm not at home

And if I don't keep my word I swear

I'll keep away



Here's some books and a puzzle by Escher

Here's Shakespeare's "Measure For Measure"

Here's a balloon, a rubber band and a bag

Why don't you blow them up if you think you've been had

Here's a castle, a paper dragon and a moat

An earring, a toothbrush and a cloak

And if I don't keep my word I swear

I'll keep away



I swear I'll keep away
