The Ceremonies - Straw Hat lyrics

[Verse 1] I said the big bad wolf won't catch me And you can't say he comes around Cause what you hear is not what I see And I can tell my house is falling down A bit shaky with my stethoscope But there's a doc not far from town I heard it once, but now I can't hear a sound [Pre-Chorus] He said that he was just hungry Gave it everything he had Look out your window, out your wits Find out who's really bad You certainly can't And this I must grant [Chorus] Can I not try to an*lyze or read the daily news? It took so long to realize I'm wearing someone else's shoes The dreams won't take you from your war But they can fill your heart with fright And there's no chance to pacify If you move right to goodnight [Verse 2] The paper stacks at my door They bundle up and start to crowd They'll eat me, eat my heart out Well, I hear walking footsteps made in snow What shapes and sizes Please just let it go You want my heart You can't have my heart no more Every time I Think I hear a sound It's like my whole world Costs and weighs a pound I'm warm not blooded [Pre-Chorus] No wind's blowing Left my house on solid ground The paper boy stops throwing And this is what I found The old abode New stitches on the coat That you sewed [Chorus] Can I not try to an*lyze or read the daily news It took so long to realize I'm wearing someone else's shoes The dreams won't take you from your war But they can fill your heart with fright And there's no chance to pacify If you move right to goodnight
