lyrics

There’s a light in the house
But it flickers out
I thought a saw a face
But it withered with the ceiling fan
The clock must have forgot
What time it was
I’ll turn it back [x3]
Something must be awry
How did this become nowhere?
Two steps forward, two steps back
How am I anywhere?

What if my car is stuck?
What if my feet are buried?
What if I’m sinking
From the dead weight I’ve carried?

Fi-ga-ri, fi-ga-ro
This is more than I bargained
One two three anxiety
I guess I won’t be pardoned

I have a duffel that’s filled with regrets
I try to unpack, but I just make a mess

The street is the same, but something isn’t right
What the hell always sullies the night?

Where’s the rain?
I was told exactly
What to expect on cloudy days
I guess myths were thrown out long ago

Nothing stays still
Maniacs run loose
While I bang on the windowsill
What is the spark that I have lost

I much prefer fantasies
But I think they’re numbing me
So here’s the car
Here’s where I decide to
Turn off the feedback and depart
But the noise still wails in my head

[Queen-like instrumental]

There’s a light in the house
But it flickers out
I thought a saw a face
But it withered with the ceiling fan
The clock must have forgot
What time it was
I’ll turn it back
