In the house They sleep and watch TV Making up some words to say Nobody hears Nobody came They never do Rocking chairs and walls of blue In the house They sleep and watch TV Chorus: Tick, tick, ticking days away Waiting to move out and get away Tick, tick, ticking days away Waiting to move out and get away In the house Empty heads roll down the stairway Cupboards clean for all to see Nobody cares Who remembers what day it is? Who remembers the way it was? In the house They sleep and watch TV (Chorus)
