Scratching The Door

(album: The Flaming Lips - 1984)

A man dressed in red
Measures the distance from here
He whispered to me
But it don't sound very clear
You sighed first
Running to find your disaster
Find your disaster

People, what you gonna do
When they've forgotten you?
When you're stuck in the house
Hands are cut from scratching the door
Scratching the door
Scratching the door
Scratching the door

A man dressed in red
Puts a gun to his head
A gun to his head
Brains fly around
Dripping down to the ground
Down to the ground

What you gonna do
When they've forgotten you?
When you're stuck in the house
Hands are cut from scratching the door
Scratching the door
Scratching the door
Scratching the door

What you gonna do
When they've forgotten you?
When you're stuck in the house
Hands are cut from scratching the door
Scratching the door
Scratching the door
Scratching the door

Oh, scratching! Scratching!
Scratching scratching scratching!
Scratching!
