At Home With Mr. Harper
from Songs For The Summer by Pea Green Boat
lyrics
Should we be afraid?
If only we could see the things
His calloused hands have made
He's lived
Behind about a million walls
Erratic frenzied hammering
Comes floating down the hall
A dress
A whiff of cheap perfume
A glint behind his eye
That tells of tales inside his room
We haven't lived
Until we've touched the blade
If only we could see the things
His callous hands have made
"And I could carry you away…"
These beaten wings have flown you
And they'll own you given time
"And I could carry you away…"
Just say the word, we'll start over again
The ladder in her tights
He climbed to heaven
Before the Devil even noticed he was dead
The whispering, the sweat
The skin, the tender threats of violence
Hell is better swept under the bed
All the secrets that you keep
When you're walking down the street
What would your mother say,
Mr. Harper?
When they speak of your demise
Will it come as no surprise?
What would your mother say,
Mr. Harper?
"I could carry you away…"
These beaten wings have flown you
And they'll own you given time
"And I could carry you away…"
Just say the word, we'll start over again
The ladder in her tights
He climbed to heaven
Before the Devil even noticed he was dead
The whispering, the sweat
The skin, the tender threats of violence
Hell is better swept under the bed
