He sits in your room, his tomb with a fist full of tacks
Preoccupied with his vengeance
Cursing the dead that can't answer him back
You know that he has no intentions
Of looking your way unless it's to say
That he needs you to test his inventions

Babe, come, crawl out your window
Use your hands and your legs, it won't ruin you
How can you say he will haunt you?
You can go back to him anytime you want to

He looks so truthful, is this how he feels?
When I try to peel the moon and expose it
With his businesslike anger and his bloodhounds that kneel
Yeah, if he needs a third eye he just grows it
He just needs you to talk or to hand him his chalk
Or pick it up after he throws it

Babe, please crawl out your window
Use your hands and your legs, it won't ruin you
Now how you gonna say that he will haunt you?
When you could go back to him anytime you want to

He look so righteous while your face is so changed
As you sit on the box that you keep him on
While his genocide fools and his friends rearrange
Religion of the little ten women
That backs up their views and their face is so bruised
Come on out, the dark is just beginning

Babe, please come out your window
Use your hands and your legs, it won't ruin you
How can you say that he will haunt you?
When you can go back to him anytime you want to

You got a lot of nerve to say you are my friend
If you won't come out your window
You got a lot of nerve to say you are my friend
If you won't come out your window

You got a lot of nerve to say you are my friend
If you won't come out your window
Yeah, a lot of nerve to say you are my friend
If you won't come out your window

Come on, please come out your window
You got a lot of nerve
Yeah, you got a lot of nerve to say you are my friend
If you won't come out your window

Come on, please come out your window
Oh, please come out your window

The Hold Steady

The Hold Steady is an American indie rock band from Brooklyn, New York, formed in 2004. Noted for their “lyrically dense storytelling,” and classic rock influences, the band’s narrative-based songs frequently address themes, including drug addiction, religion and redemption, and often take place within the city of Minneapolis.

Formed four years following the break-up of vocalist/guitarist Craig Finn and lead guitarist Tad Kubler’s former band, Lifter Puller, The Hold Steady released their debut album, Almost Killed Me in 2004, and came to prominence with the release of their third studio album, Boys and Girls in America, in 2006.
