[00:14.40]You've been ducking and dodging but you can't come home no more
[00:18.03]You've been ducking and dodging but you can't come home no more
[00:21.90]That key you've got won't fit this lock no more
[00:26.12]That key you've got won't fit this lock no more
[00:30.43]You've been ducking, dodging but you can't come home no more
[00:34.44]You've been ducking and dodging but you can't come home no more
[00:38.64]That key you've got won't let you in my door
[00:42.81]That key you've got won't let you in my door
[00:47.16]My eyes have seen the glory and
[00:49.18]The sound and image, synchronized
[00:51.26]Right there on the silver screen
[00:53.39]Heard the sounds suggesting
[00:55.37]Lineage of influence, yeah
[00:57.65]Saw it there in the motherland
[00:59.48]Steps and gables, steeples, stairways
[01:01.54]Wind away from origin
[01:03.52]In untrampled vintage floats the proof
[01:05.62]I cannot be freed
[01:08.18]The concert stage, the velvet cage
[01:09.67]The glass perimeter of me
[01:11.75]All my friends are disappearing
[01:13.86]All my letters are in codes
[01:15.85]All I ever think and feel
[01:17.84]In your shadow, it erodes
[01:19.80]Waiting, waiting by the silent phone
[01:21.77]I draft my next apology
[01:23.91]Burn my letters once they're read
[01:25.97]Unalloyed joy, I thrice repeat
[01:28.03]Unalloyed joy
[01:29.08]Unalloyed joy
[01:30.01]Listen to what I just heard
[01:32.04]It's written on the sun, jailbird
[01:34.02]And just like you
[01:35.11]The way it moves
[01:36.16]A fog that creeps in, grinning always
[01:38.26]In your hair
[01:39.05]And in your hallways
[01:40.31]Got detained in San Francisco
[01:42.37]On your way to get fresh air
[01:44.22]The U.S.A. didn't want you there
[01:46.09]Juggled oranges, but no one cared
[01:48.03]You've been ducking, dodging but you can't come home no more
[01:52.12]You've been ducking and dodging but you can't come home no more
[01:56.37]That key you've got won't fit that lock no more
[02:00.59]That key you've got won't fit that lock no more

[03:05.10]You've been ducking and dodging but you can't come home no more
[03:09.21]You've been ducking and dodging but you can't come home no more
[03:13.52]That key you've got won't fit that lock no more
[03:17.72]That key you've got won't fit that lock no more
[03:21.80]You've been ducking and dodging but you can't come home no more
[03:25.89]You've been ducking, dodging but you can't come home no more
[03:30.16]That key you've got won't won't let you in that door
[03:34.16]That key you've got won't fit that lock no more
[03:38.54]Lady Macbeth, rock me mama
[03:40.61]Like my back ain't got no bone
[03:42.57]Like clicks heard on the telephone
[03:44.61]Like a sudden unhinged moan
[03:46.62]That leaks out from your broken structure
[03:48.94]Like a wall of unbound stone
[03:50.94]They buried the eighth
[03:51.81]They buried the ninth
[03:52.75]They said the finale was a formal reply
[03:54.88]They buried the eighth
[03:55.83]They buried the ninth
[03:56.86]They said the finale was a formal reply
[03:58.85]They buried the eighth
[03:59.89]They buried the ninth
[04:00.92]Buried everything, I'm telling you guy
[04:02.86]Contest prizes, grand pianos
[04:04.97]Gagged by comfort, shamed by words
[04:07.05]Empty anthems, cloaked in strange fur
[04:09.06]Stripes and bars, is it yours?
[04:11.10]Stripes and bars
[04:11.97]Stripes and bars
[04:12.93]Stripes and bars, and are you sure?
[04:15.10]Stripes and bars will lock you in
[04:17.08]Lock you in or camouflage you
[04:19.06]Feel the sun, but cannot walk to
[04:21.03]Hear the yelp, but cannot talk to
[04:23.00]Trembling, cloaked in what you swore
[04:24.85]Were stripes and bars
[04:25.92]That's what they're for
[04:26.87]You've been ducking, dodging but you can't come home no more
