Cabinets - Live
You know that Boulder
Was just like any other Western mining town
It was Christian and conservative
Uh, that's until the late 1960s
When all the flower children came
From the East Coast
To join Vietnam protests
At the University of Colorado
Some of them were on their way to San Francisco
And then they took an eternal detour
For the Rocky Mountain West
Sara McCrea of the Boulder Weekly said it best
Gotta cite your sources
This is an academic pursuit
So this one's called Cabinets
Little girl
Howling in the night
Jagged as a knife
Little girl
Howling in the night
I get the feeling that something ain't right
With that little girl
Her footing ain't firm
I don't have it in me now to tell her off
Real, real stern
Little girl
Mighty as a mouse
Won't you get out of my cabinets?
Little girl
I don't want no mouse
In my house
I don't want no mouse
In my house
I seen ya in the mirror
Shifting through the sands of my psyche
I seen you in my shadow
Like some mad hatter
Like some mad hatter
I seen you in my shadow
Little girl
Little girl
Little girl
Little girl
Left a trail of disarray
I'll put it all away
I'll fold it up nice and neat
I'll wash it down the drain
I'll wash it down
I'll wash it down the drain
