Asleepers Union - Les Savy Fav

You know who built this house and

You know who will tear it down

It broke the backs of the trees in the forest

It brought the rats to their knees in the city

You thought you were safe

You thought you were strong

A kiss and a cough

Now everyone’s gone

The anchor’s away

And the co-host's in crisis

The mice they will play

While the loin’s in stasis

Everyone prays that the facts are to blame

When the T.V. goes off

The make-up remains

Tinnitus sets in

The night is so young

But we’re waiting for him

The witness is singing

But we won’t let her win

This suit fits much too tight

Still I’ll wear it on my wedding night

I’m in over my head in a shallow waterbed
