lyrics

There's a house across the street from me
From where I live
It's got seven windows and dusty pastel render
Women go to stay there and men just stand and shout
They shout about, they shout about some stupid TV
Or I love you and they swear and stamp their feet
And repeat a name,
Say it again and it will sound the same.

Balustrade lives here for how long?
Where the full moon meets the colon.

She doesn't want you to call an ambulance for her boyfriend.

Cleaning with paint I was up on the roof,
A boy wobbled the street
Bat in hand, he lay every wing mirror at his feet
The tarmac glittered throughout the next day
When she lay down in it
You know that she could really stop the traffic

Steady bumping against it again
Sash bay and web browser

She doesn't want you to call
An ambulance for her boyfriend.

Well the fork stood up like an antique letter Y
And clinging to the middle I
Remember how we used to play spy
And watch the older boys at a distance

Hiding in the grass of the graveyard
Or just looking out the window
