Wearing Down The Carpet

(album: The Secret Service - 2015)

He walked for miles and miles but never left his room
Dramas unfolding in his head
Life threatening adventures from the comfort of the couch

A blazing fanfare that would never leave his lips
Nor even see the light of day
Earth shattering disasters from the safety of his settee

Oh oh! Oh oh! Wearing down the carpet
Oh oh! Oh oh! Content to end up where he started
Wearing down the carpet

They came from far and wide, just teacups in a storm
The universe like putty in his hands
All hail the conjurer who never left his room
Who never left his room

Oh oh! Oh oh! Wearing down the carpet
Oh oh! Oh oh! Content to end up where he started
Wearing down the carpet

He discovered worlds but never covered any ground
So many friends for someone so alone
Just a worn down carpet is all he has to show
Is all he has to show

Oh oh! Oh oh! Wearing down the carpet
Oh oh! Oh oh! Wearing down the carpet
Oh oh! Oh oh! Content to end up where he started
Wearing down the carpet
