Rocking Chair

I was sittin' in the rocking chair by the side of the house
 Where the streetlight stars and all the highway cars
 Claps on the drapes on your window
 I'll get something to eat, but all the spaces I meet
 Seem so hypnotizing
 These eyes are exits to be
 
 Oh, and things ain't what they used to be
 Got this flickering heart set out after me
 If my mind was a poem, well, I burned it up long before
 If I drink some more, well, I think I might drown
 Slip into silence as my heart it burns out
 Find the devil inside me and I nail him back down
 Whoa
 ♪
 If the day would ever come around, shiver at the sight
 Finally lookin' out through these little pane eyes
 Our stringed clothes, put me aside
 I'll slowly die for my sins, swallow my sins whole
 His eyes, they were bigger than his belly ever was (Ooh)
 Oh, and things ain't what they used to be
 Got this flickering heart set out after me
 If my mind was a poem, well, I burned it up long before
 If I drink some more, well, I think I might drown
 Slip into silence as my heart it burns out
 Find the devil inside me and I nail him back down
 Whoa
