Wait for it.. wait for it... The drum entrance in this song is a shining moment.

lyrics

Visit

if you come and visit me I’ll fall down on my knees
I’ll remember everything
I’ll remember everything
I’ll place an avocado in the palm of her hand, say
- I receive you in peace, I receive you in peace -

everyone’s gonna see I’m down on my knees
I’m down on my knees, I’m down

if you come and visit me my tongue will not believe
I’ll point to the weeds
I’ll just point to the weeds
I’ll tell her
- it’s ok, it’s ok that you won
and how are your sons? how are your sons? -

everyone’s gonna hear my tongue won’t believe
my tongue won’t believe, my tongue

if you come and visit me I’ll stop missing you
I’ll speak only true
yeah I’ll speak only true
when she says she don’t believe me, I’ll say
- you win again. but it’s never the end,
no, it’s never the end -

and everyone’s gonna see I’m not missing you
I’m not missing you, I’m not
everyone’s gonna see I’m not missing you
and I’m not Mrs. You and I’m not
I’m not
I’m not
I’m not
