I said the big bad wolf won't catch me
And you can't say he comes around
'Cause what you hear 's not what I see
And I can tell my house is falling down
A bit shaky with my stethoscope
But there's a doc not far from town
I heard it once, but now I can't hear a sound
He said that he was just hungry
'Gave it everything he had
Look out your window, out your wits,
Find out who's really bad
You certainly can't
And this I must grant
Can I not try to analyze or read the daily news?
It took so long to realize I'm wearing someone else's shoes
The dreams won't take you from your war but they can fill your heart with fright
And there's no chance to pacify if you move right to goodnight
The paper stacks at my door,
They bundle up and start to crowd
They'll eat me, eat my heart out
Well, I hear walking footsteps made in snow
What shapes and sizes?
Please just let it go
You want my heart? You can't have my heart no more!
Every time I
Think I hear a sound
It's like my whole world costs and weighs a pound
I'm warm, not blooded
No wind's blowin' left my house on solid ground
The paper boy stops throwin' and this is what I found
The old abode
New stitches on the coat that you sewed
Can I not try to analyze or read the daily news
It took so long to realize I'm wearing someone else's shoes
The dreams won't take you from your war but they can fill your heart with fright
And there's no chance to pacify if you move right to goodnight
