Footprints on the Ceiling Lyrics by ​a-tota-so

Lights out

2022

Empty houses on empty streets
Elvis has left the building
Elvis has left the city
Beneath the ground until the spring
We come out of hibernation
Floor boards will bend til they break
When I was up to rinse the heat
Take one extra spoon of coffee
To make up for those around me
Farewell to that old routine of work like a chump all week
A real pirates life for me
Yo ho
I do declare there will be footprints on the ceiling
Therе will be space for music once again
Maybе not this year but maybe next
Maybe that's a stretch
We’ll reoccupy the places we hid (Under the table)
Nights alive, lit up across the country
Like a vivid constellation or a star sign
And when we look back on the songs unsung
The drinks undrunk
The hugs unhugged
Might as well make up for it while we still got the lungs and the capacity to fill them up because
There will be space for music once again
No one could have known we’d fall into this trap
Fortune fading from my face
This is a scam, no one could have known we’d fall into this trap
Fortune fading from my face
