Nellie McKay
"Yodel"


Standing in the break of a yawn
Where you done left me alone
There's nothing happening to hide

Sitting in the shade of the lawn
As everybody goes home
There's nothing left here to find

Standing with my back to the wall
Minding the sky as it's falling all around me
Listening for a break in the rain
For it's not drowning my pain anymore

Standing in the shade of the yard
Where everybody works hard
And everybody is dying
Walking up the town boulevard
Where I'm found out as a fraud
And there's nobody who's buying
