the choice is ours how we're going to pay

the choice is ours how we're going to pay
someone in New York says we owe
just as sure as we came here
baby, we just had to go

what the i ching said 
about letting a child go home
with a choice we heard in her head
she did not say "no"

that filthy communal house with"A"
made us both say "Oh!"
we can wait to sell another day
after the winter's snow

let the wife talk with Kelly
what is right under the circumstance
she cannot have it both ways
there are no answers; only dances

choose as the feeling suits you
we took our house "as is"
benefitted from its conveniences
that is where we chose to live

then evil entered at an "open house" sale
a stain that will remain
without a chance to defend ourselves
even the new owners will have the pain

no one to defend us in absentia
move on and outward, Amanda and Alberta
let the blackmail pittance afford the city
does it pay? ask Amos and Hosea
