I used to let you hang aroundwell

I might not speak the language anymoretoo long in the wastelandtoo long in the wastelandwill close some doorsthe people in the villagewatch their children playat the sight of a strangerthey call the kids awayjust leave that man alone

I hear the mother sayhe's beentoo long in the wastelandtoo long in the wasteland's what made him that waywell,
