The Amplifetes - Maxine

She's in the kitchen cooking breakfast for the children
She's blowing kisses to her husband in the car
He's been sitting in the car
In the car.

And the house with all the pine she spends every waking hour
She's probably healtier and happier than us all
Looking happier than us all
Than us all.

She runs a business in the house for her amusement
She finds that helps to keep her mind on something else
Keeps her mind on something else
Something else.

And down the road the kids are laughing in the playground while the sweating
Postman puts a letter in the letter box
Puts in the letter box
The letter box.

But Maxine is not around
And she's nowhere to be found
As the sun is going down
At night.

No, Maxine is not around
She's just nowhere to be found
So let's save another round
For her.

She goes at night just while the neighbors would be sleeping
She sits for hours watching aeroplanes go by
Counting stars across the sky
Cross the sky

Sometimes it is like a bolt out of the blue
And she drops down
You still make sure that no one sees when she cries
No one sees when she cries
When she cries.

But Maxine was not around
And she's nowhere to be found
As the sun is going down
At night.

No, Maxine is not around
She's just nowhere to be found
So let's save another round
For her.
