Other People’s Pets

[Verse 1]
Driving past the stadium
Humming 'Elegy for Tim'
I saw ten dozen caps and gowns
Peasants disguised in crowns, I felt like a king
When I saw an end as a start
Or his death as just a bit part
A quick hello I might forget, I can say hello
To other people and other people's pets, other people's pets

[Chorus]
Merideth at dawn would sit and let me talk away, talk away
Merideth at dawn, I'll pet her as I talk away, talk away
