You burned your kerosene hands playing with fire
Now it's our time again to shuffle through the bones
As New York idiot birds balance on wires
This distance will blind, this is love, this is home
Welcome home
The mood ring industry sends letter from lovers
In envelopes sealed with your taste
Pulling hair from the roots, names without bodies
Remember, remind, retract and replace
I walked to the window and raised my hand to wave
But I could not remember the name we created to make
This goodbye seem okay
Ticking hands at your heart, they're mine to the fibers
And your blood's enough to bring rain
Pulling hair from the roots and paying off prostitutes
To wear your old clothes and call me Salinger
I walked to the window and raised my hand to wave
But I could not remember the name we created to make
This goodbye seem okay
