Fog in the House of Lightbulbs
[00:22]The cross in the middle of the room
[00:26]But the ghost who sleeps in the kitchen sink
[00:28]And the one who shines my shoes all put the money in a bag
[00:32]And left the house before the blizzards came
[00:37]The summer's got his teeth in me again
[00:42]But my bones are sweating and my clothes are gone
[00:43]And i can't get enough to drink
[00:45]So now the place to be is where the moonlight never blinks
[00:53]And i'd love to explain but truth be told i'm not sure what to think
[01:03]So now i'm going to bed
[01:20]I woke up with my head stuffed full of fog
[01:24]Beyond it out into the livingroom
[01:26]Until i couldn't see the floors or walls
[01:28]And as the sun cut through i finally found a place to lay
[01:35]The skeleton in my closet left his home
[01:40]Now he sits up on the rooftop and shouts my secrets with a megaphone
[01:43]And as the shit hit the fan i packed my bags and caught the train
[01:51]And i'd like to point the finger but there's no one left to blame
[01:58]Now there's nothing left to protect me from the rain
[02:05]And it's really coming down..
[02:39]It's the thought that burns you out
[02:43]It's the hook that drags you under
[02:46]And it's the grin that rats you out
[02:50]It's a snowstorm in the summer
[02:53]It's the sky that spoils the cloud
[02:56]It's the burn marks on your mother
[03:00]And it's the thought that burns you out
[03:03]It's the hook that drags you under and so on..
[03:33]Boring and twisting.. a moth stuck in the ground
[03:42]Has made a house of your lightbulbs
[03:46]Mottled and crooked
[03:50]A hiccup in the sound
[03:55]Is like a smudge on the tv
[03:59]Like a crick in your neck
[04:02]Like mistakes that you never regret
[04:09]It's the look upon your face
[04:12]It's the rat that lost the race
[04:15]It's the shivers in your spine
[04:19]It's the heart you'll never find
[04:22]It's the names in wet cement
[04:26]It's the things you can't forget
[04:29]It's the fear of growing old
[04:32]It's the life you'll never know
[04:35]It's the scratches in your teeth
[04:39]It's the time you left for weeks
[04:42]It's the age when you didn't care, darling
[04:46]Cutthroat and ambling
[04:51]The help that's never around
[04:55]Just like a wish on your birthday
[05:00]Tired and empty
[05:05]Attacks on what you found
[05:09]Is like a spot on invention
[05:12]Like a bug in your food
[05:16]Like a thing that's too good to be true.. and so
