Lyrics

Quiet as a double-glazing Clothes as a black as raven's wings I slide down the hall soft as the widow sings Underneath a swinging light, my wife won't tell you anything Holding hands invisibly, my pockets stuffed with cygnet rings I'm always in two places at once 'cause there's no time for anything I always have to up the ante to keep the stakes more interesting I'm selling off my stolen totems but I keep the tears for souvenirs Clearing out your accumulations for rainy days that last all year We get on like a house on fire and hand-in-hand we'rе burning Check the petrol, chеck the wires And keep those two wheels turning Keep those two wheels turning We're big fish in a small pond flapping around We're two square pegs in round holes trying to file the edges down A devil and a angel, there's room for them in everyone Better keep the devil alive and running when the morning comes We get on like a house on fire and we left yesterday burning But I got bored and let you down And then you turned yourself in I thought they'd never break the angel Thought they'd never melt her wings But she let them untie the knot and handed them the hanging string But in my cell I've got new angels I'm in control of their confusion Working all the angels: new environments bring evolution We get on like a house on fire Test the limits, keep on learning A weakness is always for hire And we left yesterday burning We get on like a house on fire Test the limits, keep on learning A weakness is always for hire And we left yesterday burning And we left yesterday burning And we left yesterday burning
