We Burn Houses

I saw myself in an alley
And this was me ten years from now

He said, Hey kid,
Don't you remember that I never get older?
Hey kid,
Don't you remember that I never get older?

We burn houses bigger than this
With a three car garage with no cars in it
Everybody's comin'
But nobody's leavin'

From outside, I can see right in to
A table for four with the third chair missin'
It's upside down
From reflections on silverware

They all want to be helpful
But I am not one of those people

I just sit and wait for grass so green
That there is no other side
Birds that sing with English accents
A melody out of time (We're just slippin' away)

We burn houses bigger than this
With a three car garage with no cars in it
Everybody's comin'
But nobody's leavin'

From outside, I can see right in to
A table for four with the third chair missin'
It's upside down
From reflections on silverware...
