We stank of hair dye and ammonia
We sealed ourselves away from view
You were looking at the void and sat unblinking
The best that I could do was to train my eyes on you

We scaled the hidden hills beneath the surface,
Scraped our fingers bloody on the stones
And built our little house that we could live in
Out of dinu lapatti's bones

We kept our friends at bay all summer long
Treated the days as if they'd kill us if they could
Ringing out the hours like blood drenched bed sheets
To keep winter time at bay but december showed up anyway

There was no money it was money that you wanted
I went downtown, sold off most of what I owned
And we raised a tower to broadcast all our dark dreams
From dinu lapatti's bones
