Lyrics

You'd send me a letter if you could
But they killed the mailman in my neighborhood
You'd leave a light on if you wanted
But they cut all the lines all the power is gone

And you know
Even with curtains closed
Not supposed to be alone
Look how they made houses out of our home

You'd share a drink with me if we could meet
But they shot the milkmaid in the middle of the street
You'd share a cup of sugar if you had any more
But they make sure to keep the lines long at the store

And you know
Even with curtains closed
Not supposed to be alone
Look how they made houses out of our home

If I could see you
Standing in your yard
I'd be fine
I just want to know
My neighbor's names
Before it's time
Before they pave over my mind

[why won't you step in the light? I just want to bleed you dry]
