Somebody's watching
Through the keyhole in my apartment
I sold all my small supply
To keep my memory healthy

My friends are in the basement
Stealing all the landlord's rent
I want to make them happy
I want to write and re-invent

Somebody's hiding
Behind my bathroom mirror
They smile when they see me
They take my pills and brush their teeth

Somebody loves me
I know because they left me
But I'm much better by myself
I've got my walls I've got my wealth

If you think you miss me
I'll be on your TV
Put it down and think about it
Nobody cares if you leave without them
Wearing white between blues
On the nine o'clock news
Just another name in the library
All checked out and the bones are buried

Somebody's stealing
My stories through the ceiling
There's wires in the kitchen
Lock the door and take my medicine

Somebody loves me
I know because they left me
I type it up and print it out
And read it to myself out loud

If you think you miss me
I'll be on your TV
Put it down and think about it
Nobody cares if you leave without them
Paper weight in plain view
Body bag of half truths
Just another name in the library
All checked out and the bones are buried

If you think you miss me
I'll be on your TV
Put it down and think about it
Nobody cares if you leave without them
Wearing white between blues
On the nine o'clock news
Just another name in the library
All checked out and the bones are buried
Baby, if you miss me
I'll be on your TV
Put it down and think about it
Nobody cares if you leave without them
On your shelf since high school
Now the nine o'clock news
Just another name in the library
All checked out and the bones are buried
