Lyrics[]
Tunnel down to the core Climb through the trap door Soft pink sky full of rumpled clouds Radio up loud There's a pop in the speakers Where I hear your voice come through So brave and true When did I lose sight of you? Come and rattle your chain All you want You're always gonna be welcome Here in the hallways that you used to haunt Ride the sentimental rodeo Down to where the shadows grow Long while since I felt this way Stand by the window, wait for day There's a pop in the speaker Where I hear your voice come through So brave and true Let me never lose sight of you Come and rattle your chain All you want You're always gonna be welcome Here in the hallways that you used to haunt
