Keep climbing into my head without knockin'
and you fix yourself there like a map pin
on this ghost of this street where i'm livin'

i'm in a chrysalis and i'm snowed in

darling, darling that dam's gonna give

it's inevitable the way that you live
bottles in brown paper and a mouth that slurs
all the %#@! that it stirs

let that dogwood blossom

there'll be hell to pay in heaven

for you take every street home

what happens when you're into deep to break

loneliness keeps you constantly awake
what happens when the passage of time appears
you see yourself as a child and it brings you to tears


you say that you're troubled and you always have been
uncomfortable in your own skin

so you contemplate the riverbed
turn off the dark thoughts in your head


darling, darling that dam's gonna give
it's inevitable the way that you live
bottles in brown paper and a mouth that slurs

all the %#@! that it stirs
let that dogwood blossom


there'll be hell to pay in heaven
for you take every street home
