Saturation - Jethro Tull

They left me, leaving my house on fire, me running round ---

Got out through the window

While clinging to the skirts of fate was not my idea of fun

I’ll jump to it gladly

The town was filled with smoke and hate

Came to my senses just too late to realize that all I ever owned was borrowed

I thanked them for having shown me that nothing ever really belongs to anyone

They burned my books and they broke my car, and gave the dog to a man who used

him for breeding

They felled my trees and they tramped flowers and threw the kitten into my new

pool

The same things done to other men had made them run away from the city

This being the case, I joined them there and breathing air spent the night with

these new friends
