Redecorate

[00:00.77] There was a wonderful structure to the city

[00:03.26] And it put my cares to rest

[00:28.62] Taking inventory of his life

[00:30.87] Seeing snapshots chronologically inline

[00:33.87] Something told him he should look around and tidy up

[00:36.63] He collected many things but never quite enough

[00:39.62] Tried looking at it from a new perspective

[00:42.62] Flat on his back but he still heard the directive

[00:45.22] Orders from that corner where that shadow always lived

[00:48.38] Never asked permissions he just hopes that they forgive

[00:51.37] I don't want to go like this

[00:54.37] At least let me clean my room

[00:57.12] I don't want to leave like this

[01:00.13] 'Cause the last thing I want to do is

[01:03.62] Make my people make decisions

[01:06.62] Wondering what to do, oh

[01:09.37] Should they keep it on display

[01:13.12] Or redecorate?

[01:15.38] Blankets over mirrors, she tends to like it

[01:17.62] She's not afraid of her reflection

[01:19.37] But of what she might see behind it

[01:21.13] She had plans to change her name

[01:23.87] Just not the traditional way

[01:26.87] Haunted by a couple big mistakes

[01:28.62] She covers all the dents with the way she decorates

[01:31.87] Then one night she got cold with no blankets on her bed

[01:34.48] So she ripped them off the mirror, stepped back and she said

[01:37.88] I don't want to go like this

[01:40.87] At least let me clean my room

[01:43.88] I don't want to leave like this

[01:46.62] 'Cause the last thing I want to do is

[01:50.12] Make my people make decisions

[01:52.87] Wondering what to do, oh

[01:55.87] Should they keep it on display

[01:59.38] Or redecorate?

[02:02.12] With the bells and the whistles scaled back

[02:15.39] Like an isolated track

[02:17.38] And he feels trapped when he's not inebriated

[02:19.39] Fair to say he's fairly sedated most days of the week

[02:21.88] He might have made it if he lived on a different street

[02:24.88] I repeat, scaled back and isolated

[02:27.37] He says he likes an open schedule but he mostly hates it

[02:30.12] If you're running to his room, take a breath before you break-in

[02:33.12] Put your ear up to the door, tell me can you hear him saying?

[02:36.12] I don't want to go like this

[02:39.12] At least let me clean my room

[02:41.87] I don't want to leave like this

[02:44.62] 'Cause the last thing I want to do is

[02:48.37] Make my people make decisions

[02:51.37] Wondering what to do, oh

[02:53.87] Should they keep it on display

[02:57.14] Or redecorate?

[02:59.37] I don't want to go like this (Go like this)

[03:02.39] At least let me clean my room (Clean my room)

[03:05.12] I don't want to leave like this (Leave like this)

[03:07.88] 'Cause the last thing I want to do is (To do is)

[03:11.62] Make my people make decisions

[03:14.62] Wondering what to do, oh

[03:17.13] Should they keep it on display (On display)

[03:21.14] Or redecorate?

[03:32.87] Or redecorate?

[03:44.38] Or redecorate?
