Tragically Hip - Apartment Song lyrics

rate me

Illuminate the obvious

it's standing right here in front of us

what our apartment does when we're not around

does not concern us

Simulate the obvious

and it's standing, standing right here in front of us

just what our apartment does when we're not around

does not concern us

She's the horrible esthete

and she hates her ugly feet

at a place where her friends all meet

she takes her shoes off and invites everyone to see

Eliminate the obvious

and it's right here, right here in front of us

just what our apartment does when we're not around

does not concern us

She's the horrible esthete

at the place where her friends all meet

while her clock reinforces its' conceit

and her mirror checks out other things

the walls stand a little more at ease

and her books they chat so expertly

and her cups and saucers get some sleep

and things get all together neat

and at the clicking of the key

returns the horrible esthete
