Mountain Goats - Genesis 3:23 lyrics

rate me

<br>House up in Clearlake <br>Where I used to live <br>Picked the lock on the front door <br>And felt it give <br> <br>Touch nothing move nothing stand still <br>Keep my ears open for cars <br>See how the people here live now <br>Hope they´re better at it than I was <br> <br>I used to live .. here (4x) <br> <br>Pictures up on the mantle <br>Nobody I know <br>I stand by the tiny furnace <br>Where the long shadows grow <br> <br>Living room to bedroom to kitchen <br>Familiar and warm <br>Hours we spent starving within these walls <br>Sounds of a distant storm <br> <br>I used to live .. here (4x) <br> <br>Fight through the ghosts in the hallway <br>Duck and weave <br>Stand by the door with my eyes closed <br>When it´s time to leave <br> <br>Steal home before sunset <br>Cover up my tracks <br>Drive home with old dreams of play in my mind <br>And the wind at my back <br>Break the lock on my own garden gate <br>When I get home after dark <br>Sit looking up at the stars outside <br>Like teeth in the mouth of a shark <br> <br>I used to live .. here (4x)<br><!-- stopprint -->
