House up in ClearlakeWhere I used to livePicked the lock on the front doorAnd felt it giveTouch nothing, move nothing, stand stillKeep my ears open for carsSee how the people here live nowHope they're better at it than I wasI used to live hereI used to live hereI used to live hereI used to live herePictures up on the mantleNobody I knowI stand by the tiny furnaceWhere the long shadows growLiving room to bedroom to kitchenFamiliar and warmHours we spent starving within these wallsSounds of a distant stormI used to live hereSongtexteI used to live hereI used to live hereI used to live hereFight through the ghosts in the hallwayDuck and weaveStand by the door with my eyes closedWhen it's time to leaveSteal home before sunsetCover up my tracksDrive home with old dreams of play in my mindAnd the wind at my backBreak the lock on my own garden gateWhen I get home after darkSit looking up at the stars outsideLike teeth in the mouth of a sharkI used to live hereI used to live hereI used to live hereI used to live here Aus Songtexte Mania
