Over The Rhine - Melancholy Room lyrics

Melancholy Room

words: Detweiler, Hordinski and Bergquist

music: Hordinski, Bergquist and Detweiler

recording: Eve

someone's moving ‘round inside of me

someone's setting up shop where I can't see

but I'm fine

but I'm fine

in this melancholy room

someone opened up my mouth to speak

someone pulled the words back into me

but I'm fine (lie)

but I'm fine (lie)

in this melancholy room

scream like a silent movie

call off the curious fingers

feeling my heart

spring on an Arctic island

pushing against my ribcage

takes me apart

smiles on my Friday face

call it amazing grace

are you leaving so soon

I'm mad as a March hare in June

in this melancholy room

oh you can you

can you see how I've fallen

in the fog

cannot see very far

cannot see the fallen

in the fog

can you see what I see

can you see

do you wanna

you fallen

can I call you God or messiah

you know you must...

your body down
