Today I tried to climb the walls But tonight I'm on the town I used to hang from off the ceilings But tonight I'm getting down (I'm getting down) My longing's got much longer than before I had to walk right out the door The streets are wet and shiny in the rain Get out of the house I tried to get it in But now it's getting out I opened up the door And out through the junk The wind is blowing leaves And paper in the air Get out of the house Get out of, get out of the house Get out of the house Get out of, get out of the house I used to gather all my feelings And cup them in my hands I roll them up into a ball And cast them out across the whole land You fall into the forest Then you pull yourself right out I'm ploughing up and down the city streets Trying to get out of the house I opened up my mouth And wailed at the moon I sang it out aloud I didn't speak too soon My voice carried up away into the air C'mon c'mon Get out of the house Get out of, get out of the house Get out of the house Get out of, get out of the house I am moving Out into the World is turning Round and round Round and round! Get out of the house Get out of, get out of the house Get out of the house Get out of, get out of the house I tried to keep it in But now it's getting out I opened up the door And out through the junk The wind is blowing leaves And paper in the air Get out of the house!
