lyrics

Home

Home is the place where the walls complain
They sit around and laugh at me all day
they’re spitting lightning & balls of angry
but eating thunder’s leaving me hungry

Down on the corner is a fortune hag
she pulls scrabble letters from a black circle bag
lays ‘em out & says “village green & a rural home
2 dogs, 1 cat, fencepost for a headstone”.

Sleeping on my best decision
never changed the choices taken
Maybe if I Changed

Find yourself a home
’til you have somewhere to go
You’ll always be alone
Right down to the bone
always be alone

There goes the siren and the hermit’s loose
We’ll all show up to round up the recluse
and we’ll say pity about that and pity about this
and leave us alone now for pity’s sake please

Drunkwater isn’t even on the map
It’s over the edge & sort of tucked in round the back
It’s the sort of place that you don’t leave from
A hotel room in a back and beyond town

Sleeping on my best decision
never changed the choices taken
Maybe if I Changed

Find yourself a home…
