[Verse 1] A house made of gla** Is only for decoration The builders would build And then it tumbles down [Refrain] Ooh, Valerie's so kind Valerie's so kind If you want her (if you want her) If you want her (if you want her) [Pre-Chorus] Her brother's pa**ed out on the deck With a bomb strapped to his chest The ambulance is standing by; Tears begin to fill his eyes [Chorus] I feel winds are changing You will not remain Set fire to the places Where our ghost resides [Verse 2] The springs in the chair Were never meant to hold the weight of A child's neglect The seat has rotted out [Refrain] [Pre-Chorus] [Chorus] [Instrumental] [Bridge] She can die Or live with his hands around her neck (around her neck) There's a wretched mildew that sits atop All good flights will leave (x2) Too proud to believe All good flights will leave (x2) [Chorus] [Outro](x2) Now we only watch The shimmer light up The faces of every disappointed child Tucked into bed by their mother waiting for Their missing father He's never coming back
