When we were kids, Benjamin
Playing guitar, climbing fences
When we were alone, when we were alone
You’d call the surf report on the phone
Those sirens of blue beckoned to you
Remember when a symphony was the sound of skateboard on the street?
And the prettiest thing were the stars on your ceiling, Benjamin?
Stars keep spinning around my head
Where do we begin, where do we end?
I’m looking for the boy inside the man
What will become of you, Benjamin?
When you left home, where did you go?
Did you seek consolation from the constellations?
Now you’re lost to me, cradled in the arms of the concrete
Begging someone, “Won’t you look at me? Look at me.”
Benjamin...
Stars keep spinning around my head
Where do we begin, where do we end?
I’m looking for the boy inside the man
What will become of you, Benjamin?
I’m looking down the well of man
You stretch out your hand
Carry you back to the den
Pirouetting barefoot on cement
Stars keep spinning around my head
Where do we begin, where do we end?
I’m looking for the boy inside the man
Are you in there, Benjamin?
