Tin Man

It's lonely in the clouds, tin man
No one to hear you calling for your oil can
I don't know how long you imagine you can stay under
Before you need to come up for someone
You made your castle in the air
You built your walls to high
It was somewhere over the rainbow
When I let you step into my heaven
And I thought you ought to know
We'll burn that bridge when we come to it
You're just another perfect storm
Ships in the night let's just call it what it is
You're not in Kansas anymore
You made your castle in the air
You built your walls to high
It was somewhere over the rainbow
When I let you step into my heaven
And I thought you ought to know

Night time exterior
I watch you disappear
Behind a curtain of people
A haystack of needles
And you moved through the fair
As I stood and stared
Is that the sun or the moon?
I called out after you
As you were drifting
Uncontrollably down stream
My head hung down
And off came my crown
Now I'm just a hunting trophy
Hung above your mantelpiece
Before I'd heard of someone like you
To fall was to land on a cloud and pass right through
I'd curse the sun in my eyes
Never knowing the cold rains beneath my skies
Now I'm over the falls, plummeting into the sea
And thank the rocks for catching me!
Is that the sun or the moon?
I called out after you
As you were drifting
Uncontrollably down stream
My head hung down
And off came my crown
Now I'm just a hunting trophy
Hung above your mantelpiece

Upholstery

From blue sleep in black waves
Until his face fades
It's so disappointing
To still wake up every morning clutching something
That might have meant something to someone, somewhere once
And you'll say"I didn't know my could bend that way"
You know me
Well, you should introduce me sometime
Because the upholstery's the only thing
Keeping me together
During time spent watching the moon
And falling apart
While failing to understand things
I overheard myself say
I dream in colour
Of some wonderful other way
To loosen my grip on the notion
That it's not tomorrow that scares me
It's repeating yesterday
You know me
Well, you should introduce me sometime
Because the upholstery's the only thing
Keeping us together

No Room

After all that room sound faded away
We were left here waiting alone
Just as dusk was calling an end to that day
I left the house for home
You wanted to see something that you'd never seen
But that was never enough
You wanted to be somewhere that you'd never been
I was out walking on the roof
Just above your ceiling
Just to get some feeling
After all that room sound faded away
You hear it play one last time
I was thinking that it's not a game to play
I never heard a thing
I'd be quite happy to see the same things each day
Oh you try to stay, you try to drag me away
In many different ways I can see that life is failing
The crowded path that leads me astray
Just above your ceiling
Just to get some feeling
Falling through your ceiling
Just to get some feeling
I can't get you out of my head
After all that room sound faded away
You hear it play one last time
