So I went back to my old house
It's derelict now but there's still hickory brown
On the walls and the floor and in the photo frames of a girl I can't call mine anymore
Noise complaints were a truth
Thanks to those boys who were looking for their fire in the booth
They said being called in for tea had ruined their pristine youth
Now that the tide is turned and all the books are burned
Will you take me with you?
I thought I saw the universe expanding in my eyes
Longing for escape from this comic book franchise
Her eyes filled my lungs with smoke
A kiss was oxygen but liquid doubt soon arose
It's overflown and overgrown and the flames bring about a melancholy tone
All I would hear was 'Elizabeth My Dear'
And I'd just want to find a place where I could dance then disappear
But the city sky is nosey and it ripens up a tear
When you try to move your feet year after year
Now that the tide is turned and all the books are burned
Will you take me with you?
I thought I saw the universe expanding in my eyes
Longing for escape from this comic book franchise
Okay computer, I know you were right
You're making me feel like a deer in the headlights
In the headlights
In the headlights
In the headlights
In the headlights
In the headlights
In the headlights
In the headlights
In the headlights
