lyrics

There's a box in the attic of his mind
It is laden with locks and the key's in the box
There's a mind in the cupboard of his soul
In the mind there's a doubt that will never get out

He'll forgive and not believe that he had anything to forgive you for
He'll forget and not allow that he had anyone to forget about

There's a heart in the sewer of his soul
But he's frightened he might drown if he follows it down
There's a person who is lost in his own house
He can hear stifled cries but he just shuts his eyes

He will sigh and not know why, it's all behind closed doors, walking different floors
With a kiss you'd have the key, just like Houdini's wife used to do for him
