show the man the door - alexis harte lyrics

Loading...

there’s a room in my house
that i’ve never been in
an old man lives there
but i’ve never met him

he keeps to himself
walled off from the stairs
sometimes i hear the faintest music

but when he walks the windows
rattle like the diamondback snakes
who heat their cold blood
on the asphalt as early evening breaks
it’s got me shaken to the core…
can’t live this way no more…..
show thе man the door

there’s a sеa neath the stairs
with a dory that waits
for the old man to come down
and the painter to take

but he crashed it on the rocks
all those years ago
sometime i hear him faintly crying

but when he dreams
the floors all shake
like the mighty san andreas

big hole opens wide
aims to swallow us all alive
but he’ll never take the oars
he’s clinging to the shore….
show that one the door

there’s a shed in the yard
all swarmin’ with bees
sometime i see the old man out there raking leaves
and i pray the kids don’t see him
scar them for life
sometimes i hear him faintly singing

but its endless variations
on a circular theme for voices that never could blend
all i ever wanted, wanted in the end
was to be my own good friend

he’s got me crouching on the floor
can abide this one no more
show the man the door
