The Only House That's Not On Fire (Yet)

(앨범: View-Monster - 2008)

I feel knotted up today
But in a most exquisite way
Like neckties or like macrame
Bowlines and Zeppelin bends

If you were a theremin
I wouldn't know where to begin
My hands would stay here on my chin
With a hum that never ends

This suit doesn't fit me
I made it myself counterfeitly
With buttons of blue
Killing me with déjà vu

It's a gift for you
When I escape at last
When enough time has passed
But something keeps me as a pet
The only house that's not on fire yet
I made it when I was an architect
This is just a side effect

I feel strangely regular
But honestly I prefer it to
The usual bizarre
Damn that oxymoron

If you were a piece of dust
I'd shine a light through the busted window
And I'd learn to trust
In the updraft that you're on

Click! Click! Auto-focus!
The film's in the can like hocus-pocus
A picture of you
Killing me with déjà vu

Don't know what I'll do when I escape at last
When the end of time has passed
But something keeps me as a pet
The only house that's not on fire yet
I made it when I was an architect
This is just the side effect

The punchline is: there is no punchline
The punchline is: there is no punchline
The punchline is: there is no punchline
The punchline is that there is no punchline
The punchline is that there is no punchline
The punchline is that there is no punchline
The punchline is: there is no punchline
The punchline is that there is no punchline

Oh! I just thought of how to change all the hate
Into love with the old switcheroo
Dancing in my déjà vu
You'll be dancing too

When I escape at last
When the future is the past
But something keeps me as a pet
The only house that's not on fire yet
The only house that's not on fire yet
The only house that's not on fire yet
The only house that's not on fire (yet)
