What ghosts exist behind these attic walls
There's got to be a simpler explanation
Cause I scrimped and I saved
Just to find that they've been splicing my inventions
Cold skin and bones at this latitude
We ain't paying til the heat comes through
So you slept in a stocking cap and wool scarf and the
Promises of payments were
Upon your shoulders constantly
But don't forget to entertain
Cause this is your first defense
Four-year offense to the devoted type
I may have got an invitation, but I wasn't invited
But I thought that this meant
Something more than broken hearts and new addictions
We'll leave our sins within the carpet twine
Our bodies will dissolve the chemicals in due time
Promises of payments were
Upon your shoulders constantly
But don't forget to entertain
Cause this is your first defense
This is your first defense
This is a first defense
This was a first defense
This is my last defense
