We're standing
We're standing
You call that gone?
I'm standing on the
Firmest ground ever invented
Firm ground I invented
You're building
Your building
The big door is closing
Came home from work and
Your house was missing
Told ourslves but we weren't listening

Do you remember the one who
Took Place in the Sun from you?
I know you do
He had a heart of tin
And this amazing desire!
The face of a sphinx that smiled
Spit in the lock you'll find
The knob will turn for you
In that golden hotel
We can live in the hallway
All of the bedrooms fold
Into a Perfect Chair

Did you fall in love with someone?
Did you trade "out all night"
For some strange sun?
Weren't you the one...
Fall back in love with someone?

Did you fall in line for someone?
Back down the same road that
You came here from
Weren't you the one
That told me not to
Move around but never through?
That's the only thing you ever do

You're building
Your building
The big door is closing
Came home from work and
Your house was missing
Told ourslves but we
We were never listening
Spit in the lock you'll find
The knob will turn for you
In that golden hotel
I'm gonna live in the hallway
All of the bedrooms fold
Into a Perfect Chair

Out on the wall
A hand had begun writing
Everybody understood
That it didn't mean a thing
I'll pay it back
I will pay it all back to you
You only have to ask me to

Did you fall in love with someone?
Did you give up "out all night"
For some strange sun?
Weren't you the one...
Fall back in love with someone?

Did you fall in line for someone?
Back down the same road that
You came here from
Weren't you the one
That told me not to
Move around but never through?
That's the only thing we ever do
