What Ghosts Exist Behind These Attic Walls?
There's Got to Be a Simpler Explanation,
'cause I Scrimped and I Saved
Just to Find That They've Been Splicing My Inventions
Cold Skin and Bones and This Latitude:
We Aint' Playing Until the Heat Comes Through
So You Slept in a Stocking Cap and Wool Scarf

Promises of Payments Were
Upon Your Shoulders Constantly,
But Don't Foget to Entertain
'cause This Is Your First Defense

A Four-year Offense to the Devoted Type
I May Have Got An Invitation, But I Wasn't Invited
But I Thought That This Meant
Something More Than Broken Hearts and New Addictions
We'll Leave Our Sins Within the Carpet Twine
Our Bodies Will Dissolve the Chemicals in Due Time

Promises of Payments Were
Upon Your Shoulders Constantly,
But Don't Foget to Entertain
'cause This Is Your First Defense

This Is My Last Defense
