We never stop to wonder Till a person's gone We never yearn To know him Till he's traveled on When someone is around us We never stop to ask Hey, what's behind your mirror Hey, who's beneath your mask We never stop to wonder Till a person's gone We never yearn To know him Till he's packed And traveled on Sweet Marilyn Monroe On the silver screen Platinum reflection In a movie magazine Well, did you ever Have a headache Did your mama own a gramaphone Did you like to be an actress Were you scared To be alone We never stop to wonder Till a person's gone We never yearn To know him Till he's traveled on When someone is around us We don't know what we're seeing We take a Polaroid picture To find the human being We never stop to wonder Till a person's gone We never yearn To know him Till he's packed And traveled on Sweet beautiful Jesus On a painted cross Polystyrene body With a superficial gloss Hey, were you Jealous of your father Were you short When you were fully grown Did you like to walk on water Were you scared To be alone I think perhaps tomorrow I'll try to make a friend To really get To know him Instead of pretend I'll ask him if his feet hurt Has he burdens to be shared And if he doesn't walk away I'll ask him If he's scared And if he doesn't walk away If his eyes don't Turn to stone I'll ask him If he's scared To be alone
