Blue stripes on smooth layers of MDF
When rodents slept in a torpor state
And we drifted apart and it was OK
On the day I came back to JFK
I could sleep for a lifetime
On the smell of the flame retardant suede
I could sleep for a lifetime
Heading back to my retarded den
I could sleep for a lifetime
I could sleep
All rodents were in a torpor state
The smoky water dusted coated mats
And she said
"Why the hell did I trust you for so long?"
And I packed the room with colored scrubs
"Working hours and hours and night and days"
I could sleep for a lifetime and I wasn't there
Who's been there for a lifetime?
Fooling the agents out in the hallway?
Who's been there for a lifetime?
Who was there?
Changed the locks and locked myself
Switched her bags so no one knew
Got the cash but I was gone
Everybody was after me and you
New York City had its load
On a lawn on Gun Hill Road
And the clouds of war were there
When you landed in JFK
Changed the locks and locked myself
Switched her bags so no one knew
Got the cash but I was gone
Everybody was after me and you
New York City had its load
On that lawn on Gun Hill Road
And the clouds, the war was there
When you landed in JFK
And I changed the locks and locked myself
And I switched her bags so no one knew
And we f*cked on the couch but I was gone
Everybody was after me and you
New York City had its load
On a lawn on Gun Hill Road
And the clouds and the clouds and the war was there
When you finally landed in JFK
You could sleep for a lifetime you didn't have
In the flash of a sunbeam cry
But I was up in Andover
Snow white Andover
Green and crimson striped
Everybody's a stranger
Everybody's in danger
