Things That Go Bump In The Night Lyrics - Tear Garden

Synchronize your watches 

Cos the party's just begun 

He holds the gun 

Close to the temple 

Of his lovely 

One and only 

Foaming from the balcony 

No one's listening in 

We all tune out froth off and pull the blinds 

It's all been done before 

He's kicking crap across the floor 

He's kicking her across the floor 

He's kicking walls and windows, closet doors 

Five years 

All the next day nurses cry out 

What's the deal now what the hell 

He'll smile and say politely 

Just an accident, she fell 

She surely falls a lot 

Five years 

He seemed like little Romeo 

But now he's all she's got 

Now he's all she knows 

It's better than a life alone 

Five years 

One stormy sticky night 

He came home a little late 

She'd hung the chains up 

Barred the windows 

Built a barricade 

A single finger 

There was spray paint dripping down the door 

She'd won the war and didn't need a second shot 

She picked her spot and fired and we stood back and admired 

Crowned her princess of our spire 

We disposed of his remains 

And when they ask me what became of romeo 

I will tell them he's now playing as a flower on a grave 

So very far away 

So very far away 

Five lives
