chorus from “The New Tenant”

How do they even take to sheets I washed How do they relax in furniture I bought on loans? Now every wall’s a stranger’s story I sold my keys and bought this ghost The garden hose still kinks my wrist They water plants that aren’t my wistful mist A For Sale sign leans like the prayers I dropped Nailed to the ground I can’t touch How do they even take to sheets I washed How do they relax in furniture I bought on loans? Now every wall’s a stranger’s story I sold my keys and bought this ghost How do they even take to sheets I washed How do they relax in furniture I bought on loans? Now every wall’s a stranger’s story I sold my keys and bought this ghost
