lyrics

(nobody home)

There is a flat above a chicken shop with a light that never goes off
Been on since 2019, nobody has ever seen the tenant
And the whole street has a theory and the theories are all better
Than whatever boring thing is actually happening up there

Nobody home, nobody home
The lights are on for somebody who moved out years ago
Nobody home, nobody home
And the city keeps the bill and nobody asks why

I like it. I like a mystery that stays a mystery.
Everything else has been explained to me lately.

Nobody home, nobody home
The lights are on for somebody who moved out years ago
Nobody home, nobody home
And the city keeps the bill and nobody asks why

(nobody home)
