Locking Doors - Chris Thile

Locking doors

Spotless pores

Finding comfort in a total bore

The number four

Genealogical lore

Nothing feels good unless I’ve felt it before

The neighbor’s gay

Shouldn’t be that way

Gonna treat him like a person but not today

When I’m old and grey and he’s dying of AIDS

Gonna stop by his bed to remind him to pray

Melvin is locking doors

He makes everything a chore

And he don’t really care no more

Melvin is locking doors

Nervous when my little woman friend makes me kinda wanna be a man again

Don’t want to bend

Better to offend

But I get pissed when she looks at other men

Melvin is locking doors

And he makes everything a chore

And he don’t really care

Locking doors

Salting sores

When one wimp winces we’ll win this war

Show me some gore

Man I’m so hardcore

It doesn’t feel good unless I’ve felt it be

Nothing feels good unless I’ve felt it before

Melvin is locking doors
