lyrics

If you knew what I was going through
You’d come down and turn the lights out in the living room
Let the oil run dry
A brick on the pedal, wheels spinning in the drive
Erase answer machine tape
They are coming through the holes in your life
Through the floors of a starry night

And give my bones a shake
Vastly overstated sentiments of irrelevance
And in my hands I’ll take
A coming out
A coming out
A see-saw house and a wooden tower
And a wooden tower
Let the cripple take all the things that I’ve given you

And the car is in the drive
And there’s fog in my life
And I can’t see past my eyes
And they’re coming in through the ceiling tonight
