[00:12.71]You've been ducking and dodging
[00:13.87]but you can't come home no more
[00:16.86]You've been ducking and dodging
[00:17.87]but you can't come home no more
[00:21.13]That key you've got won't fit this lock no more
[00:26.14]That key you've got won't fit this lock no more
[00:29.35]You've been ducking, dodging
[00:30.56]but you can't come home no more
[00:33.53]You've been ducking and dodging
[00:34.63] but you can't come home no more
[00:37.78]That key you've got won't let you in my door
[00:41.91]That key you've got won't let you in my door
[00:46.14]My eyes have seen the glory and
[00:48.22]The sound and image, synchronized
[00:50.34]Right there on the silver screen
[00:52.38]Heard the sounds suggesting
[00:54.49]Lineage of influence, yeah
[00:56.70]Saw it there in the motherland
[00:58.48]Steps and gables, steeples, stairways
[01:00.62]Wind away from origin
[01:02.71]In untrampled vintage floats the proof
[01:05.39]I cannot be freed
[01:06.80]The concert stage, the velvet cage
[01:08.76]The glass perimeter of me
[01:10.87]All my friends are disappearing
[01:12.90]All my letters are in codes
[01:14.89]All I ever think and feel
[01:16.95]In your shadow, it erodes
[01:18.93]Waiting, waiting by the silent phone
[01:20.88]I draft my next apology
[01:23.00]Burn my letters once they're read
[01:25.06]Unalloyed joy, I thrice repeat
[01:26.99]Unalloyed joy
[01:28.07]Unalloyed joy
[01:29.15]Listen to what I just heard
[01:31.20]It's written on the sun, jailbird
[01:33.23]And just like you
[01:34.19]The way it moves
[01:35.17]A fog that creeps in, grinning always
[01:37.23]In your hair
[01:38.20]And in your hallways
[01:39.25]Got detained in San Francisco
[01:41.35]On your way to get fresh air
[01:43.31]The didn't want you there
[01:45.31]Juggled oranges, but no one cared
[01:47.35]You've been ducking, dodging
[01:48.38] but you can't come home no more
[01:51.40]You've been ducking and dodging
[01:52.41]but you can't come home no more
[01:55.57]That key you've got won't fit that lock no more
[01:59.71]That key you've got won't fit that lock no more
[03:04.33]You've been ducking and dodging
[03:05.16]but you can't come home no more
[03:08.29]You've been ducking and dodging
[03:09.54] but you can't come home no more
[03:12.57]That key you've got won't fit that lock no more
[03:16.71]That key you've got won't fit that lock no more
[03:20.76]You've been ducking and dodging
[03:21.88]but you can't come home no more
[03:24.99]You've been ducking, dodging
[03:26.09] but you can't come home no more
[03:29.18]That key you've got won't won't let you in that door
[03:33.32]That key you've got won't fit that lock no more
[03:37.89]Lady Macbeth, rock me mama
[03:39.67]Like my back ain't got no bone
[03:41.75]Like clicks heard on the telephone
[03:43.74]Like a sudden unhinged moan
[03:45.82]That leaks out from your broken structure
[03:47.88]Like a wall of unbound stone
[03:49.88]They buried the eighth
[03:50.84]They buried the ninth
[03:51.87]They said the finale was a formal reply
[03:53.87]They buried the eighth
[03:54.89]They buried the ninth
[03:55.92]They said the finale was a formal reply
[03:57.94]They buried the eighth
[03:58.93]They buried the ninth
[04:00.16]Buried everything, I'm telling you guy
[04:02.06]Contest prizes, grand pianos
[04:04.07]Gagged by comfort, shamed by words
[04:06.07]Empty anthems, cloaked in strange fur
[04:08.10]Stripes and bars, is it yours?
[04:10.04]Stripes and bars
[04:10.99]Stripes and bars
[04:12.03]Stripes and bars, and are you sure?
[04:14.11]Stripes and bars will lock you in
[04:16.08]Lock you in or camouflage you
[04:18.16]Feel the sun, but cannot walk to
[04:20.07]Hear the yelp, but cannot talk to
[04:22.07]Trembling, cloaked in what you swore
[04:24.15]Were stripes and bars
[04:25.08]That's what they're for
[04:26.01]You've been ducking, dodging but you can't come home no more
