I set it all on fire, it burned away in the night

Watching with eyes so tired, the orange and the blue arise

Then I sped off on a motorcycle, like everything you dreamed

I'll create a universe that you can barely see

[Chorus]

Inside or outside corner in the night

The coroner hides underneath the stairway

Where the birds spin sticks in the corridors

Don't tell the others

The cider house side corner in the night

It's poison, they’re boarding up the windows

One down and they know it's going to slip

So don't tell the others

(Above my head, they'll fly

With their lives that are more than mine

Lift up my hands to the light

And feel life that is more)

I built a wooden backdrop

I made it look awfully real

I set it up in the woodshop and lit it electric teal

Then coughed up just a little blood

It splashed into my hand

Please run and get father now

Because I'm thinking this is bad...

[Chorus x4]

Inside or outside corner in the night

The coroner hides underneath the stairway

Where the birds spin sticks in the corridors

Don't tell the others

The cider house side corner in the night

It's poison, they’re boarding up the windows

One down and they know it's going to slip

So don't tell the others
