Socratic Lyrics
"We Burn Houses"

I saw myself in an alley,
And this was me ten years from now.
He said, "Hey kid, don't you remember that I never get older?
Hey kid, don't you remember that I'll never get older?"

We burn houses bigger than this,
With a three car garage, and no cars in it.
Everybody's coming, but nobody's leaving.
From outside I can see right into a table for four with the third chair missing.
It's upside down from reflections on silverware.

They all want to be helpful,
But I am not one of those people.
I just sit and wait for grass so green that there is no other side.
Birds that sing with English accents,
A melody at a time.
We're just slipping away.

We burn houses bigger than this,
With a three car garage, and no cars in it.
Everybody's coming, but nobody's leaving.
From outside I can see right into a table for four with the third chair missing.
It's upside down from reflections on the silverware.

We burn houses bigger than this,
With a three car garage, and no cars in it.
Everybody's coming, but nobody's leaving.
From outside I can see right into a table for four with the third chair missing.
It's upside down from reflections on silverware.

We burn houses bigger than this,
With a three car garage, and no cars in it.
Everybody's coming, but nobody's leaving.
From outside I can see right into a table for four with the third chair missing.
It's upside down from reflections on silverware.
