The Guest House Lyrics

Mental combat in the guest house

Hung my luck through the window frame

Getting it back now

Countermined by the jaws of fame

Do you hear them closing in?

I draw my breath beneath their aim again

I trace my steps back to the start

Try to shape the patternless line

I'll get it right, I'll see it through

Is the load I bear on my side

Only there to take the room

For a second away from here

And I'll deliver what they came for

All you're expecting from me to hear

As if forever is what we're having now

Mental car crash in the back lounge

Address the crowd with a vacant gaze

Are you impressed now?

You've got your ticket to my fall from grace

I hear them closing in

The stage alight in swallowed feeling

Caught against the rise

Try to shape the patternless line

I'll get it right, I'll see it through

Is the load I bear on my side

Only there to take the room

For a second away from here

And I'll deliver what they came for

All you're expecting from me to hear

As if forever is what we're having now

From me to hear

And for me to come near

For me to-

Did I come too near

From me to hear

And for me to come near

For me to-

Did I come too near

Try to shape the patternless line

I'll get it right, I'll see it through

Is the load I bear on my side

Only there to take the room

For a second away from here

And I'll deliver what they came for

All you're expecting from me to hear

As if forever is what we're having now
