He sits in your room, his tomb, with a fistful of tacks
Preoccupied with his vengeance
Cursing the dead that can't answer him back
You know that he has no intentions
Of looking your way unless it's to say
That he needs you to test his inventions.
Hey, come crawl out your window
Use your hands an' legs, it won't ruin you
How can you say he will haunt you
You can go back to him anytime you want to.
He looks so truthful, is this how it feels
Trying to peel the moon an' expose it
With his businesslike anger an' his bloodhounds that kneel
If he needs a third eye he just grows it
He just needs you to talk or to hand him his chalk
Or pick it up after he throws it.
Hey, please crawl out your window
Oh, use your hands an' legs, it won't ruin you
How can you say he will haunt you
You can go back to him anytime you want to.
He looks so righteous while your face is so changed
As you sit on the box you keep him in
While his genocide fools an' his friends rearrange
Their religion of the little ten women
That backs up their views but your face is so bruised
Come on out, the dark is just beginnin'.
Hey, please come out your window
Oh, use your hands an' legs, it won't ruin you
How can you say he will haunt you
When you can go back to him anytime that you want to.
You got a lotta nerve to say you are my friend
If you won't come out your window
Yes, come out your window, come out.
