You think you got away with it You’re sure you’re in the clear I’m going to puncture your sense of relief I’m going to war with your peace of mind Bloody deeds done in the dark Footprints tracked in the mud I’m here to shine a light in your face I’m here to dredge the murk from your brine Let’s take a walk, let’s have a word Let’s get a room, let’s sing like a bird Shall we, sunshine Back at Station number 4 Constable opens up your cell Final steps to the rope that hangs Confess your evil, beg for your crime Let’s take a walk, let’s have a word Let’s get a room, let’s sing like a bird Shall we, sunshine

Up in the attic in your private pew Kicking chamber pots freshly filled by you The staircase streams with warm mountain dew Sucked up by the rug it begins to cool Making a mockery of these hallowed halls Bickering like children in a horses stall Where your ansesters glare down from the walls They were shit too, you didn’t have far to fall You think it’s all part of your charm But it’s not, I can’t stand you That’s why I’m back in the barn Back, back, back, back in the barn Into the breakfast nook to choke down your bread Pass the headlines, did you soft sell your dread After the take you pretend you’re not fed And while they starve repeat what you said Slamming doors with your flailing arms You can leave me be out back in the barn Back, back, back, back in the barn The parlour room’s now ready for your receital Step up to the piano and unleaf the vitals Flip your coat tails and spit from the bible Hammer the keys with a bald-faced denial No one’s gonna come running when you pull the alarm I sure can’t hear it through the bails of hay Way out back in the barn Back, back, back, back in the barn What we need to do is minimize your harm Until we can boot your ass off of the farm Never gonna take you back in to our arms Unravel every rotten roll of your yarn Back in the barn Back in the barn Back in the barn

Oh my darling Peggy Sue I don’t know why I do the things I do Messed up, restless and confused Get away so I can’t hurt you Spilt milkshake My sweet baby Barbara Ann Come back when it’s cold if you can Take as much as you are able to stand Time for you to find a new man Spilt milkshake Spilt milkshake Oh my sad eyed Maybelline Never meant to be so mean You’re better off to break it clean Start again in your new scene Spilt milkshake Spilt milkshake

Threw it around and it faded away Watching TV yesterday All of the things that they want you to buy They make it so easy today All of the things that you thought you would need Things that you just throw away All coming in through a blue filtered light Another new product today Paying some cash, pay with a car Even some new ways these days Press on your watch and it’s right there on time Even can pay with your face Your soul is empty You let it run dry Sunk eyes in the mirror Are begging to cry All of the things that you thought you would need Things that you just throw away All coming in through a blue filtered light Another new product they say All over town now they knew what you’d buy Another new person today Trusting yourself to a new kind of you It’s just getting dark anyway Your soul is empty You let it run dry Sunk eyes in the mirror Are begging to cry
