lyrics

the preludes got a choke hold on the iridescent morning room
one glorious movement is bound for the door
I watch the world's progress through these
stained-glass windows, which maps a tacit crystal ball

home to climb the foothills, showered the eastern shore
she's sitting pretty someplace in these ivory clouds
ugly ass curtains with a binocular around her neck
everything feels so peaceful here in this morning room

every time I come come around the dog still barks at me
this U.S. country back road is looking lonely
I miss this view of New York City from the 4th floor window sill
she used to sit and listen to me snore

dialogue sounds so beautiful when she
would allow me to throw in
some of my own words
in winter I cling to her
the menorah adorns the mantle
static on her dress
that sticks to the pantyhoes...
oh no!

sadness still prevails within these off-white weathered walls
and in time think I'll resubscribe to "Better Homes"
everything looks so golden now in this once sterile room
where my mind is burning out of... control
