LYRICS
Satellites and radio towers
Light bulbs in the deep
Tiny artificial eyes
Protect you while you sleep
And tell your mama that you gotta go
And even though it's cold outside
It's the only place that you know
It's a heavy home
Ohhhh
Three steps forward one step back
Eggshells 'neath your feet
Turning all that's gray to black
The daylight's great defeat
So tell your mama that you gotta go
And even though it's cold outside
It's the only place that you know
It's a heavy home
And when you get there
There's a tall drink of water and a bitter pill
It's all you get so choke it down and when you've had your fill
You'll smile a crooked smile for old times sake
And find your place in the sadness
Don't walk away in the dark
It's not all gray in the sadness
I can tell it when you speak
You shiver everywhere
Paper walls let the night time through
But there ain't enough to share
So tell your mama that you gotta go
And even though it's cold outside
It's the only place that you know
It's a heavy home
