When Lost At Sea

We got arrested on 
Aberdeen. We had 
Empty hands. We had
Mouths to feed.
So I 
Put my hands up and begged release
And now, Julia, it seems 
That our honesty was brief.

We got lost when we 
Left our homes. We were
High again and went 
Out to score, and I
Found myself at your brother's door,
And I'd 
Pondered all the rent.
Well, I ain't been back there since.

Well, I woke up on my 
Hands and knees. Well, the
Night was cold and I 
Began to see
That I'd 
Pinned myself to another name that had 
Sold me out before,
And had never shown remorse.

So many years, I've been 
Bought and sold. Well, I
Told myself I'd take the 
Higher road, so I
Dressed myself in your brother's clothes
And I walked across their hands.
I left nothing up to chance.
