Lyrics:
And you have to ask yourself
Where the hell am I?
Am I really meant to be here?
I dont even know
Met the girl of my dreams on my last day in town
Dont really know who I am or my way around.
Armed and dangerous with heavy loaded boxes
The neighbors arent watchin so I start to lay em down.
And theres nothing unusual.
White picket fences. Brick houses are beautiful.
But the place is kinda quiet
No welcome party, but I wouldnt mind a riot.
Now Ive lived here for 5 days.
Noticed that nobody parks their car in the driveway.
Lookin at the street and I havent seen a child play.
No lawnmowers, and the birds wont fly away
Felt compelled to introduce myself.
Havent heard the phone ring, havent heard the doorbell.
Starin down the road and the place is like a ghost town.
Only hear the wind when everything slows down.
Yell hello, and no echo calls back. No
Awkward eye contact
When youre walking by that
Person you dont know
But we dont need to sidetrack.
I just really want another human for a nice chat
Walk next door, hoping to meet standards.
Knocked a couple times and nobody answered.
Tried the next house, knocked till my hands hurt.
Five homes in a row so I throw a tantrum.
Then I write a note to let em know that I exist. And I
Leave it taped on their door, and it says, I live at
6165 Acre Lawn Drive. And I just moved in feel free to stop by.
Wait about a week, and still no response.
I look at every door and the notes are all gone.
And you have to ask yourself
Where the hell am I?
Am I really meant to be here?
I dont even know
Even though it seems my last day in town
Still dont know who I am or my way around.
And so I storm outside in a fury.
And Im still wondering why the neighbors havent heard me.
So pissed that Im playing drums on the door.
Gets to the point that Im kicking up a storm.
Screaming out, why wont you acknowledge me?
I just wanna have a chat not a cult following.
I take a running start just for a forced entry.
Heard no alarm, or a dog that wouldnt let me
Walk around the house, but I find no furniture.
Nobodys home, I see a change in my learning curve
And so I leave and I try the next lot
Throwing rocks through the glass, hoping for the best shot
God Dammit, its the same as the past scene
Last thing I wanna be is stuck in a bad dream
Madly, I break into the other houses backdoors.
Still no sign of life to explain for a rapport.
Must be going crazy, pinching my wrists
But I still feel the pain, Im clenching my fists.
Goin from angry to scared
Lookin at my house, you couldnt pay me to stay there.
Packin up my clothes and getting ready to leave -
Takin one last look cause this place is dead to me.
Getting in the car, and - turning on the engine.
Peeling out of the garage, the facades are within
My vision, I am driven to disengage from collisions with reality
The fallacy is missin, I listen to my decision
To drive faster, after I realize
Houses keep repeating, another endless chapter
The entrance is gone, driving in circles.
Im stuck here for eternity and finally hear the laughter.
