When the lightning bugs
And the sailboat tugs
When the Americans raid
And the TiVo plays
In a short fuse fall
The leaves drop in malls
And your shining face
Is what starts this race
In a short fuse fall
The leaves drop in malls
And your shining face
Is what starts this race
'Cause I'm a nervous recipe
Not the calming type of tea
And when the coronation begins
A ceremony will begin
And the clouds, they feign
What's really happening
Oh, he comes to you at night
With his antique knives
They look harmless, but they're not
He's a knife collector
In a short fuse fall
The leaves drop in malls
And your shining face
Is what starts this race
In a short fuse fall
The leaves drop in malls
And your shining face
Is what starts this race
Far away from here
Where your sister sits
The words twist away and spear
The best hope for your worst fear
And the clouds, they feign
What's really happening
Far away from here
Far away from here
