Neil Finn - Recluse lyrics

When you’re one of us you can stay here for the rest of your life I’ll open windows when you want to look out at the transit of Venus ‘cross the sun as you’re gathering dust ancient dragons and the cicadas come the edges jagged as you’re coming undone on the white soft feathers of your bed Well you know how hard I try but I won’t get nowhere an*lyzing your life and it’s people that you lose when you become a recluse Turn away from us days are darker when the winter comes can’t remove yourself from what you have done on the rack where your reputation lies do you want to exist between the lightning and the mental bliss or needing nothing and with no one to miss like a stray dog pissing on a statue Solitude is hard to find and they’re all too busy organizing your life but it’s people that you lose when you become a recluse well don’t be so nervous now all I want is to be dancing round in your light with the colours that you choose when you become a recluse ohh I make any excuse to stay home but I can’t do that and I must come back people that stay at home watching a game of thrones and wondering what comes next well you can’t do that and you must come back Pictures of geese fly they around us and this leads to that take us everywhere and bring us back well I dreamt that Jesus had a gun Sure it’s getting cold outside and they’re all to busy organizing your life but it’s people that lose when you become a recluse I think Howard Hughes would love to be on the internet I think Sly Stone should hold his own on the internet Bobby Fischer lost and won then took a permanent holiday He’ll be back to host a variety show on television someday JD Salinger lived long ago and far away Greta Garbo parked her car and walked home from a glamorous party I just want to be alone
