Shouting at a closed door
Hoping to open me up
Don’t know what it’s closed for
Wishing you’d open it up
As soon as Autumn bit my leg
I tripped and fell on my own head
I spiraled back into my bed
A body-pillow newlywed
The stink of shut-in days
Restored the scent Corona took away
Rewind the tape and then press play
Remember how it turned out this way
Welcome to Purgatory
Please enjoy your stay
The road to Paradise
Is steep and so unsafe
Why don’t you sleep and then
Try again the next day
Why don’t you sleep and then
Dream all your dreams away
Here’s the key, good sir,
Now please enjoy your stay
