lyrics
THE CLOSEST THING TO HOME
Home ain’t where the heart is, home’s where I find my peace; if home ain’t a place of sanity I need to take more of these
A neighborhood of manikins, a nightmare down the street, the tell-tale signs of panicking in the eyes of those you meet
This block is haunted but no one seems to care, you know I can see things but they say there’s nothing there
“Welcome home,” the voices say to me
“Welcome home, we know where you should be; come on in, we’ve got a box that’s just your height; get right in, ‘cause you won’t last the night”
The doctor is my minister, the pharmacist’s my priest, keep me drugged and comfortable so you don’t have to hear from me but the pills just dull the muttering, I still can’t get no sleep; people keep discovering the signs of my disease
My head is haunted, I don’t mean to scare but the voices make me do things and I’m just not aware
“Welcome home,” the voices say to me
“Welcome home, we know where you should be; come on in, we’ve got a box that’s just your height; get right in, ‘cause you won’t last the night”
This place is killing me, you’ve got to take me home
The pressure’s killing me, you’ve got to take me home
These pills are killing me, you’ve got to take me home
My head is killing me, you’ve got to take me home
“Welcome home,” the voices say to me
“Welcome home, we know where you should be; come on in, we’ve got a box that’s just your height; get right in, ‘cause you won’t last the night”
“Welcome home,” the voices say to me
“Welcome home, we know where you should be; come on in, we’ve got a box that’s just your height; get right in, ‘cause you won’t last the night”
