lyrics

We should make a moat around the house
Fill it up with sharks and four leaf clovers
When they come to say the war is over
We can pull our shirts over our heads

Will we be here now until we’re dead
Frozen in the crystal looking out
Flying up and down the spiral stairs
Isn’t crying like a kind of prayer

Isn’t laughter like a kind of grace
Isn’t that a lot of sun upon the prince’s face
Should we stay inside again today
Do you really know how much I need you

I will never mean to drink the medicine cabinet dry
I will never mean to make you cry
You said it’s just another pixel on the screen
I said come on with the scissors don’t be mean
Cut the eyeholes out so I can see
Cut the eyeholes out so I can see
If it’s fine for you it’s fine for me
Just cut the eyeholes out so I can see

Isn’t laughter like a kind of grace
Isn’t that a lot of sun upon the prince’s face
Should we stay inside again today
Do you know how much I really need you

When we’re standing at this window
Standing at this window
That we made

We should make a moat around the house
Fill it up with sharks and four leaf clovers
When they come to say the war is over
We can pull our shirts over our heads
