Square Wheels

Break out the Champagne
Prepare the banquet
Score out the fanfare
Blow up the balloons
Set up the fireworks
It's the day of the homecoming
A homecoming of sorts
Not the same 4 walls you knew
But different nonetheless
For you

And we all go back to normal
People, as you were
Dust ourselves back down again
Exhale a breath of air
Climb in the car that's waiting and put our seatbelts on
Check the mirror, release the brake and drive
With square wheels on

Clip on the smile over the furrows and the lines
Well everyone's so friendly and the view is something else
Slippers skim the surface
Corridor's so clean
Tyres squeal on polished floor as we turn into your room
You're home

And we all go back to normal
People as you were
Dust ourselves back down again
Exhale a breath of air
Climb in the car that's waiting and put our seatbelts on
Check the mirror, release the brake and drive
With square wheels on
