teak veneer - paul mcdermott and steven gates lyrics

Loading...

we had a language, all our own
and we’d speak it at night
when we’d talk on the telephone
eyes closed, head thrown back
and twisting the red, red cord
through our fingers
like it meant something (like it meant something)
and it meant something (and it meant something)

teak veneer
wood-panelled afternoons
in the rumpus room
with the tv screaming
teak veneer
hides a mult-tude of ugly sins
beneath its toothy grin
if you run, i can meet you there

we found a place they couldn’t find
on a kitchen bench
hidden in plain sight
as the screen door slams
i’m hanging on each breath you breathe
hoping that it meant something (that it meant something)
and it meant something (and it meant something)

teak veneer
angry voices from an upstairs room
hurt the tender gloom
of your seaside mansion
teak veneer
you wave your hands
and the sunlight danced
in the motes of dust on the tips of your fingers

all that we need to do is fall asleep
all that we need to do is fall asleep
in that room (in that room)
of sweet dismembered trees (all that we need to do is fall asleep)
in that room (in that room)
of sweet dismembered trees (all that we need to do is fall asleep)

now i walk along
these empty streets
raging at the sky, kicking at the falling leaves
half stoned
almost lost, and
wondering if the whole d-mn thing
ever really meant something
’cause it meant something
to me

teak veneer
wood-panelled afternoons
in the rumpus room
with the tv screaming
teak veneer
hides a mult-tude of ugly sins
beneath its toothy grin
if you run, i can meet you there

teak veneer (we had a language all our own)
teak veneer (we had a language all our own)
teak veneer (we had a language all our own)
