I heard you fell into a rabbit hole
Covered yourself up in snow
Baby, tell me where'd you go
For days and days
Did they make you stay up all night?
Did they paint your face that pasty white?
You're thirsty but your appetite
Is chased away
The sun turns us to stone
It's a cloudy day
But we still can't go home
Open our back cellar door
Till we see the moon
We're invisible
No one ever takes the garbage out
A new kid gets dare to touch the house
He runs back only to announce
There's no one home
Does he paint the foil with a flame
Smear the soda, taste butane
For every fear that can't be named
To calm you down
Your heart starts skipping steps
So your farther gone
Then you might expect
If your thoughts should turn to death
Got to stomp them out
Like a cigarette
