Saturation

They left me, leaving my house on fire, me running round 
got out through the window. 
While clinging to the skirts of fate 
was not my idea of fun 
I'll jump to it gladly 
The town was filled with smoke and hate
Came to my senses just too late 
to realize that all I ever owned was borrowed
I thanked them for having shown 
me that nothing ever really belongs to anyone

They burned my books and they broke my car
and gave the dog to a man who used him for breeding
They felled my trees and they tramped flowers and threw 
the kitten into my new pool
The same things done to other men had made them run away from the city
This being the case, I joined them there and breathing air spent 
the night with these new friends
