the roland high life - squatter song lyrics
i’ve got a dead mattress thrown on the floor
it’s where i pass out every night
and the polyurethane that coats the floors
reflects the light from the street
there’s never been a fire in the fireplace
ever since they came and sealed it up
and every time i open the door
i’ve got to give it a kick, ’cause it gets stuck
but it’s quiet sometimes, quiet
when i’m singing in the shower alone
it’s not my home, but it’s a place to rest my head
i’m never home, i’m told i’ll sleep when i am dead
i hear the thudding pitter+patter of the kid upstairs
i’ve never seen him, but he wakes me up
and that’s the funny thing about the cross i bear:
i only need it to get me going
there’s never been a fire in the fireplace
ever since they came and sealed it up
and every time i open the door
i’ve got to give it a kick, ’cause it gets stuck
but it’s quiet sometimes, quiet
when i’m singing in the shower alone
it’s not my home, but it’s a place to rest my head
i’m never home, i’m told i’ll sleep when i am dead
sing to me, jeff tweedy, am i listening to you?
is this how i fight loneliness, by running somewhere new?
i’m sorry that i’m leaving
but it’s something i must do
it’s something i must do
