Ceramic Real Estate

(albüm: Maybe I Can Sleep It Off - 2020)

Operator, can you patch me through?
I need the clear light in my dreams
I headed out with binoculars, but
Tripped on the things at my feet

Oh, it's the wrong way (da-da-da, da-da-da)
To find the right way (da-da-da, da-da-da)
Well, you had every right to ignore me
I was lucky to have your company
Yeah, I was

Oh, well, I think I saw my luck run out
Oh, I'd found the door and kicked it down
Oh, right over the hill in leaps and bounds
On the sum of the lucky one

I left home with the iron honor
While I could have nothing left
Set my bed up in the fireplace
With a soot pile in my head

Oh, I could see you (da-da-da, da-da-da)
But couldn't reach you (da-da-da, da-da-da)
Oh, you were laughing as you drove away
I was not worthy of you, anyway
No, I wasn't

Oh, well, I think I saw my luck run out
Oh, I'd found the door and kicked it down
Oh, right over the hill in leaps and bounds
On the sum of the lucky one
On the sum of the lucky one

I couldn't give you all of me
Move on to the gallery
Where all your students have had enough
Oh, I clean my plate
My ceramic real estate
Ooh, yes, I'll be asleep
Serving the grave
Yeah, I'll be riding on that next wave

Oh, well, I think I saw my luck run out
Oh, I'd found the door and kicked it down
Oh, right over the hill in leaps and bounds
On to sum up the lucky one
Well, if you don't want me, then just go now
There's no much point in hanging round
Oh, I hate you're gone but it slipped right out
In the sum of the lucky one
In the sum of the lucky one
