Lyrics
Something Moves Out (Dan Brown)
You don't really to get it, but you don't give a damn.
You hear the front door open and the back door slam.
So you put a new coat of paint on that old picket fence,
then you lower your standards and raise the rent.
And then something moves out, something moves in.
You add another place to the places you've been.
Carve another notch, pull another pin.
Something moves out, something moves in.
The house looks different and the woman does too
and she keeps on asking what's wrong with you.
Now there's two more feet at the foot of the bed
and all new stuff in that room in your head.
And then someone moves out, someone moves in.
You add another person to the people you've been.
Show another card, shed another skin.
Someone moves out, someone moves in.
I think that everything I've got is gonna be replaced
and I wonder just how many dreams I can waste.
Why can't I recycle, remodel, retool,
redefine, redesign, stop being such a fool.
It isn't good or bad, it's just a matter of fact.
You can't look forward if you watch your back.
You might try to resist but you'll do nothing but fail.
Like tacking jello to the wall with a ten-penny nail.
Chorus
