Lyrics
There are weights on my wrists and they cling, limb to lock in a delicate yet devastatingly carnal pile-up as a comforting light spins and sketches in place and a strangely brutal silence sets to pulling me away
You're as safe as houses it's all right now Yeah you're as safe as houses so don't trouble yourself
The neighbourhood shows up and they grieve for a while but only as it suits them from a comfortable distance for the denigrating, barrel-chested terror at my back survived only by its failures and the son it never had
The trigger pulled me gently by the finger-tip I shot a rat with an elephant gun Don't be surprised if there isn't much left of it
But you'll be happy again once the transparency lifts when the specters wilt before the fists of the neighbourhood kids When you sleep they won't remember what I did
You'll be as safe as houses for a good long while You'll be as safe as houses so don't trouble yourself
Tusks and teeth are made of old piano keys Fatty hands are made of candle wax Ghosts are no more than two holes in scrappy sheets
