   Someone always leaves that light on 
G#                    E                    G#   E   G#   E
   I have dreams that little boys burn the house

   They set afire the ivy in the window pane up from the ground 
G#         E                   G#        E    G#           E    G#           E
Fire drills unskilled, they're uniformed, wallpaper's warm, wallpaper's warm

B                    A                        G#    E   G#   E
  He's gone up, he's gone up, he's gone up to lie down
B              A                     G#   E   G#   E
  I stay and I wait and I go quietly
B                        A                    G#      E      G#   E
  And watch the minute hand, how could it be stolen from you?
B         A              E
Cold snap, dental freeze


[Verse 2]
G#            E                G#   E   G#   E
   I hope you weren't offended
G#                       E         G#   E   G#   E
   What I said about the mausoleum
G#        E           G#    E        G#           E         G#   E  
   And we live rent free on loyalist land, better crank the heat
G#         E                   G#        E    G#           E    G#           E
Fire drills unskilled, they're uniformed, wallpaper's warm, wallpaper's warm


[Chorus 2]
B                    A                        G#    E   G#   E
  He's gone up, he's gone up, he's gone up to lie down
B              A                             G#   E   G#   E
  I stay and I wait at the end of the stairs
B                        A                    G#      E      G#   E
  And watch the minute hand, how could it be stolen from you?
B         A           E
Cold snap, frigid air


[Outro]
G#           E          G#          E 
   Watch the minute hand, how could it be still?
G#            E             G#         E
   The little bird is caught, in a deep thought
G#            E      G#        E      G#
I don't wanna seem unkeen, you seem unkeen
(fire drill)        (fire drill)     (fire drill)
    E      G#        E      G#
You seem unkeen, you seem unkeen
          (fire drill)
