[00:23.72]A can of cola,
[00:26.40]An unfilled bathtub
[00:29.27]For dirty bodies
[00:31.65]And storing empties.
[00:34.63]The land-line's nagging,
[00:37.04]The mail is scattered on the floor,
[00:40.03]And through a keyhole of
[00:42.65]A triple bolted door,
[00:45.47]It's melodrama,
[00:48.26]It's confused chemicals.
[00:56.65]It's dirty laundry,
[00:59.83]It's empty styrofoam.
[01:13.78]The Giants won and
[01:15.88]All the firecracker shells are littering the street
[01:21.60]And I don't give a shit.
[01:24.71]My shoes ran off somewhere
[01:26.89]And I haven't even cared to organize a search.
[01:32.67]My ball of nerves,
[01:35.96]Don't mistake me,
[01:39.66]I'll refuse you
[01:41.09]If you choose to track me down.
[01:47.15]And don't you make me leave
[01:51.26]Without wishing you well
[01:53.67]'Til I return from my brief sojourn
[01:58.35]To the center of the earth.
[02:01.12]As far as I tell you
[02:03.36]It's not as bad as all of that,
[02:07.42]And I promise not to be reckless.
[02:11.05]Oh heart of mine,
[02:16.49]Heart of mine,
[02:21.04]It's your face that brings me back every time.
[02:53.02]It's dirty laundry,
[02:56.23]It's empty styrofoam.
