lyrics

Saw a sign on a house, ‘bout a thousand years ago
7775, yeah I forget the rest
A thousand trails from a thousand stars will light up this sky tonight
And we will sleep, and we will dream

Sweet and sour is the color of the sky on an endless day
Infinity cyan with a drop of two of cyanide
Get your sunglasses on, find the keys to the car and take a spin around the culdesac
Saw a sign on a house

Sell the house, this is a scary place
Forward all the mail, to a better place
The new residents will never suspect what they’re likely to find
The new residents will be stumbling on pieces of a puzzle that we left behind

Which walls are hollow, you’ll never know til you go back in
Well, you first—I’ll follow
Go ahead, let the fun begin
By the time we get back out to the corner
There’ll be a new sign—For Sale By Owner
And we will sleep, and we will dream

Sell the house, this is a scary place
Forward all the mail, to a better place
The new residents will never suspect what they’re likely to find
The new residents will be stumbling on pieces of a puzzle that we left behind

So put a new bulb in the night light
And cover your eyes
All things will be--as they were
Go to sleep, I can tell you’re getting tired
