lyrics

(they close)

Ninety rooms this year and not one set of curtains met
There is always that thin line across the ceiling at four
And then you come back here and pull them and they close
And it is dark. Completely dark. Imagine that.

The curtains close (they close)
In this house the curtains close
That is the whole of it, they close
They close

The curtains close, curtains close, the curtains close
Nineteen years to buy a room that goes dark
The curtains close, curtains close, the curtains close
And I have slept eleven hours and I am not ashamed

People ask what the money bought. They mean the house, the car.
It bought a room where nobody can find me at four in the morning.
That is what four hundred songs were actually for.
(FULL PRODUCTION, BIGGEST)

The curtains close, curtains close, the curtains close
Nineteen years to buy a room that goes dark
The curtains close, curtains close, the curtains close
And I have slept eleven hours and I am not ashamed

(they close...)
