Genesis 3:23

John Darnielle

[Verse 1]
House up in Clearlake
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

[Refrain]
I used to live here
I used to live here
I used to live here
I used to live here

[Verse 2]
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 spent starving within these walls
Sounds of a distant storm

[Refrain]
I used to live here
I used to live here
I used to live here
I used to live here

[Verse 3]
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

[Bridge]
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

[Refrain]
I used to live here
I used to live here
I used to live here
I used to live here
