Termites Lyrics

The man at the hardware store says termites are bound to eat this house

It's only natural, it's really just a matter of time before it falls

But these walls don't look like real wood

I hope my bedroom tastes good

You say it's all for the best

I find it hard to digest

The things you miss when you're sleeping

Hanging up on the wall

The things you miss when you're sleeping

Never happen at all

In your own bed

In your own bed

Every bright thing begins and ends

You add up the things we've got

They're not worth much but they weigh a lot

And could do some real damage if you got them moving

Only clean what's dirty, yeah you only clean what's dirty

Everything else is soft in stride

You say that's more than we got

I like to think that it's not

The things you miss when you're sleeping

Hanging up on the wall

The things you miss when you're sleeping

Never happen at all

In your own bed

In your own bed

Every bright thing begins and ends

But then again

It's all soft and in stride

It's all soft and in stride

You've got the rhythm all wrong

Your lungs are smaller than mine

But every third breath around

We inhale at the same time

And the termites can have this house

Cause they're just doing their job

They're just doing their job

And it's so nice to see that

Yeah, you never really see that anymore

Never see that anymore

They're just doing their job

They're just doing their job

In your own bed

In your own bed

Every bright thing begins and ends
