[Verse 1]
G# E G# E G# E
Someone always leaves that light on
G# E G# E G# E
I have dreams that little boys burn the house
G# E G# E G# E G# E
They set afire the ivy in the window pane up from the ground
G# E G# E G# E G# E
Fire drills unskilled, they're uniformed, wallpaper's warm, wallpaper's warm
[Chorus 1]
B A G# E G# E
He's gone up, he's gone up, he's gone up to lie down
B A G# E G# E
I stay and I wait and I go quietly
B A G# E G# E
And watch the minute hand, how could it be stolen from you?
B A E
Cold snap, dental freeze
[Verse 2]
G# E G# E G# E
I hope you weren't offended
G# E G# E G# E
What I said about the mausoleum
G# E G# E G# E G# E
And we live rent free on loyalist land, better crank the heat
G# E G# E G# E G# E
Fire drills unskilled, they're uniformed, wallpaper's warm, wallpaper's warm
[Chorus 2]
B A G# E G# E
He's gone up, he's gone up, he's gone up to lie down
B A G# E G# E
I stay and I wait at the end of the stairs
B A G# E G# E
And watch the minute hand, how could it be stolen from you?
B A E
Cold snap, frigid air
[Outro]
G# E G# E
Watch the minute hand, how could it be still?
G# E G# E
The little bird is caught, in a deep thought
G# E G# E G#
I don't wanna seem unkeen, you seem unkeen
(fire drill) (fire drill) (fire drill)
E G# E G#
You seem unkeen, you seem unkeen
(fire drill)
