Amnesiac lyrics

There are barn doors
And there are revolving doors

Doors on the rudders of big ships
We are revolving doors

There are doors that open by themselves
There are sliding doors
And there are secret doors

There are doors that lock
And doors that don't

There are doors that let you in
And out
But never open
But they are trapdoors
That you can't come back from

I might be wrong
I might be wrong
I could have sworn
I saw a light coming on

I used to think
I used to think
There is no future left at all
I used to think

Open up, begin again
Let's go down the waterfall
Think about the good times
And never look back
Never look back

What would I do
What would I do
If I did not have you

Open up, let me in
Let's go down the waterfall
Have ourselves a good time

There are things to talk about
Be constructive

There are weapons, we can use
Be constructive
With your blues

Even when they tore the wall down
Even when they tore the wall down

Why don't you quiet down
Why won't you quiet down
Why don't you quiet down
Why won't you quiet down

We are the dollar and cents

While you make pretty speeches
I'm being cut to shreds
You feed me to the lions
A delicate balance

And this just feels like spinning plates
I'm living in cloud cuckoo land
And this just feels like spinning plates
My body is floating down the muddy river

Come on, come on
You think you drive me crazy
Come on, come on
You and whose army
You and your cronies
Come on, come on
Holy roman empire
Come on if you think
Come on if you think
You can take us all on
You can take us all on

You and whose army
You and your cronies

You forget so easily
You ought to know
You ought to know
Oh so sad
Oh so sad
Oh so sad
You ought to know
You ought to know

I want you to know
He's not coming back
He's bloated and frozen
Still there's no point in letting it go to waste

So knives out
Cook him up
Don't look down
Shove it in your mouth

If you'd been a dog
They would have drowned you at birth

So knives out
Catch the mouse
Squash his head
Put him in the pot

So knives out
Catch the mouse
Don't look down
Shove it in your mouth

I want you to know

Instrumental

Once again, she is smashing up her house again
She is throwing things through windows
She is mad at someone else again,
It is now a broken home

Once again, I am so low with my only friend
He is smashing up his house again
You are throwing things at me again
And I'm wrecked up all inside

Well if I stop that singing now and shout
Well if I stop that singing to you friend

After years of waiting nothing came
As your life flashed before your eyes
You realize

I'm a reasonable man
Get off, get off, get off my case [x2]
I'm a reasonable man
Get off my case
Get off my case

After years of waiting
After years of waiting nothing came
And you realize you're looking,
Looking in the wrong place

I'm a reasonable man
Get off my case [x2]
I'm a reasonable man

I jumped in the river and what did I see
Black-eyed angels swam with me
A moon full of stars and astral cars
All the things I used to see
All my lovers were there with me
All my past and futures
And we all went to heaven in a little row boat
There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt

I jumped into the river
Black-eyed angels swam with me
A moon full of stars and astral cars
