Picture if you will a house on the hill
|
Where the family kills each other for a place in the will
|
Understand that he came a dirty old man
|
That holds a plastic rosary in the palm of his hand
|
|
And under the rug you will sweep (under the rug you will sweep)
|
Secrets and promises that you can't keep (promises that you can't keep)
|
The dam it will leak, it will weep
|
Said "I'd like to tell you how I feel", you said "You know that can't be real, it's much too deep"
|
|
Why'd you wanna watch and wait, you can't walk on water
|
Get your feet on the ground
|
There's a hole in the floor, hole in the door
|
Whole wide world waiting to turn you around
|
|
And under the rug you will sweep (and under the rug you will sweep)
|
Secrets and promises you can't keep (promises that you can't keep)
|
The dam it will leak, it will weep
|
Said "I'd like to tell you how I feel", you said "You know that can't be real, it's much too deep"
|
|
Now how will you keep yourself busy?
|
Take the trouble you're leaving behind
|
And dig down deep where you do not belong there
|
Shine a light where the sun doesn't shine
|
|
Seven days, still no sign of daylight
|
Your tunnel's collapsing from behind
|
And how the hell did I get to Alaska
|
Will it shine, the light where the sun doesn't shine?
|
