Build A Home Lyrics by Lauren Hoffman

Megiddo (Deluxe Editiom)

0

I need to be alone tonight
This city and her streets
A cardboard sign reads help me
And I walk on
And I run
I touch you and you feel me
I'm a river, I'm burning, I'm a thief
I leave you and your skin and your beauty
I leave you and your beauty and your teeth
Can you see this blaze flared up
From the spark of you
Now this trick I've played makes me your slave
I'll burn you out, I'll start again
I saw my name in your hand
I turned around and ran
But to you or from you it's all the same
To you or from you it's the same thing
He says we're all alone
He builds himself a home
He builds it out of hair and teeth and fingernails and bones
He hides it in his heart
Then he tears it all apart
He plasters all the pieces up with glue and calls it art
He's a man with two left shoes
He's a pretty cockatoo
His song is full of sadness but he's beautiful in blue
I need to be alone tonight
Alone tonight
