Lyrics

There?s a dog and he won?t stop howling
In a way he never howled before
I asked him, ?What?s the problem??
He said, ?Go home and barricade the door?

There?s a shadow on the front lawn
There?s a crack in the wall
Where?s a soothsayer when you need one?
Might mean everything or nothing at all

Oh, say can you see?
Can you read between the lines?
Give me a kiss for good luck
After all, these are desperate times

Here lies a poet
Unnoticed and unsung
In a corner of the graveyard
Words left burning on the tongue

There?s a woman standing in the hallway
Looks like she?s got a tale to tell
She keeps saying over and over
?Someone stole the warning bell?

Let?s check the foundations
They?ve fallen into disrepair
But the way you look in the twilight
I could die and not even care
