Redecorate

[00:00.58] There was a wonderful structure to the city

[00:03.29] And it put my cares to rest

[00:18.44] (on display)

[00:24.28] (on display)

[00:28.57] Taking inventory of his life

[00:30.96] Seeing snapshots chronologically in line

[00:33.65] Something told him he should look around and tidy up

[00:36.58] He collected many things but never quite enough

[00:39.50] Tried looking at it from a new perspective

[00:42.51] Flat on his back but he still heard the directive

[00:45.43] Orders from that corner where that shadow always lived

[00:48.36] Never asked permissions he just hopes that they forgive

[00:51.28] I don't want to go like this (on display)

[00:54.21] At least let me clean my room

[00:57.12] I don't want to leave like this (on display)

[01:00.04] 'Cause the last thing I want to do

[01:03.50] Is make my people make decisions

[01:06.42] Wondering what to do, oh

[01:09.34] Should they keep it on display

[01:13.09] Or redecorate?

[01:15.22] Blankets over mirrors, she tends to like it

[01:17.34] She's not afraid of her reflection

[01:18.93] But of what she might see behind it

[01:21.06] She had plans to change her name, yeah

[01:24.03] Just not the traditional way, yeah

[01:26.95] Haunted by a couple big mistakes

[01:29.08] She covers all the dents with the way she decorates

[01:31.73] Then one night she got cold with no blankets on her bed

[01:34.65] So she ripped them off the mirror, stepped back and she said

[01:37.84] I don't want to go like this (on display)

[01:40.76] At least let me clean my room

[01:43.68] I don't want to leave like this (on display)

[01:46.61] 'Cause the last thing I want to do

[01:49.79] Is make my people make decisions

[01:53.00] Wondering what to do, oh

[01:55.92] Should they keep it on display

[01:59.64] Or redecorate?

[02:12.98] With the bells and the whistles scaled back

[02:15.37] Like an isolated track

[02:16.97] And he feels trapped when he's not inebriated

[02:19.36] Fair to say he's fairly sedated most days of the week

[02:22.28] He might have made it if he lived on a different street

[02:24.70] I repeat, scaled back and isolated

[02:27.09] He says he likes an open schedule but he mostly hates it

[02:29.75] If you're running to his room, take a breath before you break-in

[02:32.67] 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

[02:38.86] At least let me clean my room

[02:41.78] I don't want to leave like this

[02:44.70] 'Cause the last thing I want to do

[02:48.15] Is make my people make decisions

[02:51.14] Wondering what to do, oh

[02:54.06] Should they keep it on display

[02:57.78] Or redecorate?

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

[03:02.29] At least let me clean my room (clean my room)

[03:04.95] I don't want to leave like this (leave like this)

[03:07.87] 'Cause the last thing I want to do (to do is)

[03:11.59] Is make my people make decisions

[03:14.51] Wondering what to do, oh

[03:17.45] Should they keep it on display (on display)

[03:21.17] Or redecorate?
