"Better Be Home Soon" (MP3)

whose knees do I surf?
To stroke the right nerve,
whose needs do I serve?
Whose knees do I search?

Can I buy another slice of real estate?
And dust from a distant sun will shatter over everyone
or
And just from a distant sun, I will shatter over everyone
or
And just from a distant sun, I will shower over everyone
And dust from a distant sun will shower over everyone
