Mind control as time goes by it's easier than you might think Just have some kids and bring them up in the suburban North East Teach the girls to raise their hands and teach the boys to make them laugh Now raise the bar and raise it high and send them on the right track Oh, keep your eyes on me Oh, keep your head straight Here everyone's a sucker for the white house and the cherry lawn Make your money, grow your shrubs, and pay someone to cut them off Walk your son to school each day and make sure that he stays in line Keep him quiet when he sings, straighten his tie and he'll be fine Oh, keep your eyes on me Oh, keep your head straight You're gonna have to Kill somebody if ya If you want to be heard, if you want to be heard

Carolyn, it will all work out Don't you know there was never any doubt Oh, now you forget how'd you forgive him? Oh, now you forget how'd you forgive him? Lie my head on the bathroom floor I'm the mess that you never were before Oh, now you forget how'd you forgive him? Oh, now you forget how'd you forgive him? I'll stare while you're breaking I'll hold your pieces in my hand

Halfway 03:30
Halfway engulfed in wood I hear a sound And run the way back down The mountain Swallows me whole And spits me out Saying "This is our home" This is our house This is our home This is our house This is our home This is it Brick road Destroyed to salt By oak tree roots They're reaching below They creep in Like your thoughts at night They'll look you over And then they'll fuck with your mind This is our house This is our home This is our house This is our home This is it Got halfway I ran the way down This is our house This is our home This is our house This is our home This is it

Window(less) 04:40
Lie awake while your sleeping Count the hair upon your arm Morning sun drowning the evening I can’t sleep with these thoughts Oh— So go away from my window I’m not your sinking barge Go away from my window I’m not your sinking barge Go away from my window I’m not your sinking barge Go away from my window She spends her hours in dark rooms And takes her potion well And lies fall out of her teeth like She is privy to some spell Oh— So go away from my window I’m not your sinking barge Go away from my window I’m not your sinking barge Go away from my window I’m not your sinking barge Go away from my window I’m not yours I’m not yours
