Hello, Mr. Mellencamp

Please be quiet, everyone's asleep
Stella's locked her door
And she's requested some peace
She teaches the English at the American school
She teaches imaginary numbers and the golden rule
She says it's hard to worry about the future
When your past is knocking at your door
Sweet mistakes and information
Have been her lovers before
