"So the Lord God banished him from the Garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken."

Lyrics:

House up in Clear Lake where I used to live

Picked the lock on the front door and felt it give

Touch nothing, move nothing, stand still, keep my ears open for cars

See how the people here live now, hope that they're better at it than I was

I used to live here

I used to live here

I used to live here

I used to live here

Pictures up on the mantle, nobody I know

I stand by the tiny furnace where the long shadows grow

Living room to bedroom to kitchen, familiar and warm

Hours we spent starving within these walls, sounds of a distant storm

I used to live here

I used to live here

I used to live here

I used to live here

Fight through the ghosts in the hallway

Duck and weave

Stand by the door with my eyes closed

When it's time to leave

Steal home before sunset, cover up my tracks

Drive home with old dreams at play in my mind and the wind at my back

Break the lock on my own garden gate when I get home after dark

Sit looking up at the stars outside like teeth in the mouth of a shark

I used to live here

I used to live here

I used to live here

I used to live here

The dock in the photo looks like a tower rising out of the desert...
