Because We're Dead

Well, I don't

Know what i'm doing here

I could say

That I do

But I don't

You could wrap a million candles

Into a torch and hope that it stears you home

You could cut all the telephone wires

And hope that nobody does get through

I might not have the power

Of telepathy

But, I'm gonna be contacting you

Because i borrowed a book that I saw

Was planted deep inside your bag

It gave me an excuse

To see you again

But I'm not a theif

I'll give it back

Don't you ever wonder

Who's living in that house

It's too small for people

We all said

But there's people in the floorboards said the mouse

And I showed you the things that I'd made

You didn't think that they were too great

But I'm glad that you thought of it

Think what you're taught

Because everybody else's mind is grey

We kept up the act for, two-o-o-o-o

Dates before it needed blue

I didn't drink what you drank

You didn't sink when I sank

So, there's little else for us to do

Don't you ever wonder

Who's living in that house

It's too small for people

We all said

But there's people in the floorboards said the mouse

Said the mouse

I didn't say

Goodbye today

Oh, I did it

The cowards way

I tied it to the net, girl

To see where it gets

To go sailing on

Down your way

But you poured petrol all over

The ship you used to sail the sea

You didn't think that you'd be coming home again

So, you said Bye to me

Don't you ever ponder

On things we never said

Yes I did

But when we were kids

Now it's too late

Because we're dead

Because we're dead

Because we're dead

Because we're dead
