"Wallpaper Baby" lyrics

"Wallpaper Baby"

You know that I love every hair on your head
And you love mine but it's a test
Every time that you find them on the pillow
You meant to keep unadorned

You think it's a crime to be so loud
I think that you're stingy with your mouth
You're crying for somebody's wasted time
There are sadder stories I have heard

Get over the wallpaper, baby
This house is coming down

I've been to the east and I've been to the west
I have seen the heaving of 10,000 chests
And I don't think them foolish when they fall
Like sparrows out of the sky

And if we are graceless coming down
And you find us heavy and cold on the ground
While the prize shooters head off for a beer
Will you tell us to work on our style

Get over the wallpaper, baby
This house is coming down

You know that I love every hair on your head
And you love mine but it's a test
Every time that you find them on the pillow
You meant to keep unadorned

And I know that you see every crack in the floor
But honey, you know it still does what it's for
And we are for something you'll never find
In the darkness you wear like a crown

Get over the wallpaper, baby
This house is coming down
