Redecorate
[00:00.16] ...
[00:00.31] There was a wonderful structure to the city
[00:03.10] And it put my cares to rest
[00:18.39] Ooh-ooh-ooh
[00:24.15] Ooh-ooh-ooh
[00:28.41] Takin' inventory of his life
[00:30.64] Seein' snapshots chronologically in line
[00:33.40] Something told him he should look around and tidy up
[00:36.40] He collected many things but never quite enough
[00:39.40] Tried lookin' at it from a new perspective
[00:42.40] Flat on his back but he still heard the directive
[00:45.15] Orders from that corner where that shadow always lived
[00:48.15] Never asked permission, he just hopes that they forgive
[00:51.04] I don't want to go like this (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
[00:53.95] At least let me clean my room
[00:56.70] I don't want to leave like this (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
[00:59.94] 'Cause the last thing I want to do is
[01:03.70] Make my people make decisions, wonderin' what to do, oh
[01:09.45] Should they keep it on display
[01:12.85] Or redecorate?
[01:15.10] Blankets over mirrors, she tends to like it
[01:17.35] She's not afraid of her reflection
[01:19.00] But of what she might see behind it
[01:20.76] She had plans to change her name, yeah
[01:23.75] Just not the traditional way, yeah
[01:26.74] Haunted by a couple big mistakes
[01:28.99] She covers all the dents with the way she decorates
[01:31.91] Then one night, she got cold with no blankets on her bed
[01:34.64] So she ripped them off the mirror, stepped back and she said
[01:37.63] I don't want to go like this (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
[01:40.88] At least let me clean my room
[01:43.38] I don't want to leave like this (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
[01:46.38] 'Cause the last thing I want to do is
[01:50.14] Make my people make decisions, wonderin' what to do, oh
[01:55.88] Should they keep it on display
[01:59.54] Or redecorate?
[02:13.04] With the bells and the whistles scaled back
[02:15.43] Like an isolated track
[02:17.18] And he feels trapped when he's not inebriated
[02:19.18] Fair to say he's fairly sedated most days of the week
[02:22.33] He might have made it if he lived on a different street
[02:24.84] I repeat, scaled back and isolated
[02:27.09] He says he likes an open schedule, but he mostly hates it
[02:29.83] If you're running to his room, take a breath before you break in
[02:32.59] Put your ear up to the door, tell me, can you hear him saying?
[02:35.84] I don't want to go like this
[02:38.83] At least let me clean my room
[02:41.59] I don't want to leave like this
[02:44.60] 'Cause the last thing I want to do is
[02:48.09] Make my people make decisions, wondering what to do, oh
[02:54.10] Should they keep it on display
[02:57.51] Or redecorate?
[02:59.15] I don't want to go like this (Go like this)
[03:01.91] At least let me clean my room (Clean my room)
[03:04.90] I don't want to leave like this (Leave like this)
[03:07.90] 'Cause the last thing I want to do is (To do is)
[03:11.40] Make my people make decisions, wondering what to do, oh
[03:17.15] Should they keep it on display (On display)
[03:20.91] Or redecorate?
[03:24.56] Ooh-ooh-ooh
[03:30.57] Ooh-ooh-ooh
[03:32.71] Or redecorate?
[03:36.22] Ooh-ooh-ooh
[03:42.21] Ooh-ooh-ooh
[03:44.22] Or redecorate?
