Garfieldism
Creeping in from the halogen mist
His alibi is subverted by the door hinges
And the smell of smoke and foreign perfume
Gripping his denim jacket
But tonight his princess sleeps
In another castle
Sunlight is our common enemy
It exposes our sins and the ugly textures
Of the walls that confine us
Despite the distance between us
The dishes stay dirty
The baby clothes stay clean
Our incarceration is measured
By the cadence of leaky faucets
And the leaky veins of second hands
The sheets stay twisted but who can sleep?
When dreams come, they echo the ghost of a girl
Screaming: father, can't you see I'm burning?
Father, can't you see I'm burning?
Once there was so much love here
There was too much love
And it all collapsed
A nuclear family that hit critical mass
His alibi is subverted by the door hinges
And the smell of smoke and foreign perfume
Gripping his denim jacket
But tonight his princess sleeps
In another castle
Sunlight is our common enemy
It exposes our sins and the ugly textures
Of the walls that confine us
Despite the distance between us
The dishes stay dirty
The baby clothes stay clean
Our incarceration is measured
By the cadence of leaky faucets
And the leaky veins of second hands
The sheets stay twisted but who can sleep?
When dreams come, they echo the ghost of a girl
Screaming: father, can't you see I'm burning?
Father, can't you see I'm burning?
Once there was so much love here
There was too much love
And it all collapsed
A nuclear family that hit critical mass
