lyrics
in a cell with twelve rotating closet doors
nine ghosts rummage quietly through locked drawers
twenty-four cent rings exchanged in construction paper walls
playground without a sound a line down the hall
the two held hands and grew alone
they shed a light where it was never shown
they hid inside part of the sun
he told her all his secrets but one
jealousy ran rampant through the room
and clueless adults still told us what to do
but i know i know i know i know i know i know how to read
what they won't see
and then he met her at the fair
skylights cinderella pinwheels everywhere
he stripped his fingers sang a song
he lit the fuse, she dropped the bomb
nine ghosts rummage quietly through locked drawers
twenty-four cent rings exchanged in construction paper walls
playground without a sound a line down the hall
the two held hands and grew alone
they shed a light where it was never shown
they hid inside part of the sun
he told her all his secrets but one
jealousy ran rampant through the room
and clueless adults still told us what to do
but i know i know i know i know i know i know how to read
what they won't see
and then he met her at the fair
skylights cinderella pinwheels everywhere
he stripped his fingers sang a song
he lit the fuse, she dropped the bomb
