Where had you gone?
You missed the goings-on
In your oblivion
You couldn’t see a damned thing
Went for a drive
Sped toward the corner dive
Came home just half-alive
But why, you can’t remember…
Where are you now?
Furrows upon your brow
No one can tell you how
You even came to be here
Woke with a start
Worlds-upon-worlds apart
Hands on the shopping cart
And children at your ankles
Contentment isn’t everything, is it?
But it’s the business we’re all in
Where have you been? Where have you been?
Where have you been so long?
What have you got?
The little scheme you bought
Isn’t the dream you thought
It was at the beginning
Give them a bit
They’ll take the whole of it
You’ll be hard-pressed to get
Any of it back, but
Contentment isn’t everything, is it?
But it’s the business we’re all in
Where have you been? Where have you been?
Where have you been so long?
So, you got a firm grip on the situation?
Forgive me if I can’t help feeling skeptical
You’re looking well, but are you comfortable?
I want to hear it from your own lips
What do you like?
Short strolls and urban hikes?
Bright-red banana bikes
Breezing down the side-streets?
Contentment isn’t everything, is it?
But it’s the business we’re all in
Where have you been? Where have you been?
Where have you been so--
Where have you been so--
Where have you been so long?
