THE TEAR GARDEN: WILD PLANET COMPILATION

THINGS THAT GO BUMP IN THE NIGHT 

Synchronize your watches
'Cause the party's just begun 
He holds the gun 
Close to the temple 
Of his lovely 
One and only 
Foaming from the balcony
No one's listening in
We all tune out drop off and pull the blinds

It's all been done before
He's kicking crap across the floor
He's kicking her across the floor 
He's kicking walls and windows, closet doors

Five years 

All the next day nurses cry out
"What's the deal, now what the hell?"
He'll smile and say politely 
"Just an accident, she fell"
She surely falls a lot 

Five years 

He seemed like little Romeo
But now he's all she's got
Now he's all she knows 
It's better than a life alone

Five years 

One starless sticky night 
He came home a little late 
She'd hung the chains up 
Barred the windows 
Built a barricade 
A single finger 
There was spray paint dripping down the door
She'd won the war and didn't need a second shot 

She picked her spot and fired and we stood back and admired

Crowned her princess of our spire 
We disposed of his remains 
And when they ask me what became of Romeo 
I will tell them he's now playing as a flower on a grave
So very far away
So very far away 

Five miles
