So all surrounded By the things I thought I'd put away And all surrounded By the things I thought I'd put away And there's a pile in the closet That's where I threw some yesterday Maybe under the rug That's where I swept some the other day

So the mess is drawing forces Outside I hear them say (Just) come out with your hands up So we can blow you away And I walk out the door Get blown wide open By the things I'd put away And I wasn't even warned Just blown wide open By the mess is where I lay
