lyrics

Somebody's pickin the lock
On Mr. Parkinson's blue door
Somebody's shakin the leaves
From the trees in the courtyard
Somebody's singin a song
From a far away place
Somebody's turnin the smile
To a frown on your face

Is that you
Standing in the doorway?
Is that you
Sleepin underneath the causeway?
Is that you
Wreaking havoc on the ones around you?

Somebody's pickin the lock
On Mr. Parkinson's blue door
Someone found a knife in their pocket
But forgot what for
Can people still hear you comin
If you got no soul?
We can't unlock the answers
Because cause somebody
Has swallowed the key whole

Is that you
Standing in the doorway?
Is that you
Sleepin underneath the causeway?
Is that you
Wreaking havoc on the ones around you?

When the air is still
And the leaves hang toward the ground
The vibrations in the earth hum louder
When no one's around
Thought you can't quite place it
Something doesn't feel the same
It's the winds of change
Calling your name

Is that you
Standing in the doorway?
Is that you
Sleepin underneath the causeway?
Is that you
Wreaking havoc on the ones around you?
