I’m stuck in the house
That once belonged to you
I’m stuck in the house
Lost without myself
I’m stuck in the house
Don’t know where I’m goin’ to
I’m stuck in the house
Dust upon the shelf

The pale moon’s standing still
Frozen on the ridge
The stars tiptoe
To their ancestral places
The books on the wall
Dream ominous dreams
And armies of shadows
Are walking off their pages

I’m stuck in the house
That once belonged to you
I’m stuck in the house
Lost without myself
I’m stuck in the house
Don’t know where I’m goin’ to
I’m stuck in the house
Dust upon the shelf

The names and numbers
Grow meaningless in my mind
Patterns desintegrate
On the black surface of night
And since the moon arose
She swallowed all memories
Insatiable hunger she bears
That never will cease

I’m stuck in the house…

I’m goin’ now, there’s nothing left to do
The door closes behind me
The moon had her fill too
The night turns itself over
Into a newborn day
The key’s under the doormat
For the next who comes to stay

He’s stuck in the house
That once belonged to you
He’s stuck in the house
Lost without himself
He’s stuck in the house
Don’t know where he’s goin’ to
He’s stuck in the house
Dust upon the shelf

…and I wonder
Leaving from there
Was always so sad
Always…

…Mama don’t go
Daddy come home…
