Lie Low from Proverbs by The Shut-Ups

They once called my name when I came through the door
It seems so very long ago
I better lie low

Slowly but surely I slipped out of style
Of course I was the last to know
I better lie low
I better lie low
For a while

Was I pounding too hard on the piano?
None of them ever protested.
If they’d only said please,
I’d’a laid off the keys and rested
‘Til further notice.

Maybe I’ll wait in the bunker
With only the rodents to kiss me
And twiddle my thumbs
‘Til somebody comes to miss me
Or at least to notice.

I’ve found I can count on the passing of time
But the counting is boring and slow, so
High time to lie low

I’ll cling to my hope through this tedious trial
I’ve never been one to let go
I’m one to lie low
I better lie low
I better lie low
For a while
