Every morning I make the bed
"Messy bed, messy head!" I’ve always said
My china’s finer than you find in any diner
I alone am my very own interior designer
I got every little thing just so
Because I know how all of it should go
So what? I didn’t go to college? I’m the center of all knowledge
Think you know a thing that I don’t think? Hello?!
I built this house
And I will die in this house
Nothing can enter this house
Nothing comes out of this house
I built you into this house
And you, and everyone I ever see
And if you’re in this house,
Well, then: you answer to me.
What do you think I do all day?
Just sit around and waste away?
Nah—I’m strong, and I’m intense
One time I even asked a man to paint my fence
I see people walking down the sidewalk where I live
But where are they going? No direction! No objective!
Not like me: I’ve got holy goals
I’m busy listening, unlike those sorry souls
I built this house
And I will die in this house
Nothing can enter this house
Nothing comes out of this house
I built you into this house
And you, and everyone I ever see
And if you’re in this house,
Well, then: you answer to me.
Also I read the good book every day
Pardon me; the “best book” is what I meant to say
'Til my thoughts become the thoughts of God
He commandeth that you smile and nod
And when I read the best book in the morning
Every phrase reveals a warning
That I alone can deliver to you
About the things you must no longer do
I built this house
And I will die in this house
Nothing can enter this house
Nothing comes out of this house
I built you into this house
And you, and everyone I ever see
And if you’re in this house,
Well, then: you answer to me.

To Know Is to Forget

Yesterday I felt strange
It’s not exactly like I was in pain
But I tried to tell a story but it wasn’t quite right
No it wasn’t quite right
I just couldn’t get it right
It’s like something in my history had changed
And I couldn’t put my finger on its name
I meant to let it go but it stuck with me all night
I was thinking all night
kept me up the whole night
what?
Well I got up feeling more or less the same
And I’m really getting tired of this game
I’m reading letters that you sent me and it doesn’t quite fit
It just doesn’t really sit
not sure what’s so off with it
It’s like your shadow and your body don’t match
Or like a house where all four walls don’t quite attach
Or a rotten wooden staircase where the steps are not aligned
It’s been stuck in my mind
gotta leave it behind
What?
‘Cause to know is to forget
I can change the truth
‘cause what’s true isn’t over yet
And to keep pretending
Keeps me slipping
deeper into debt
To know is to forget
Yeah, to know is to forget
I can change the truth
‘cause what’s true isn’t over yet
But to stop simulating
Takes deleting
Things I thought were set
To know is to forget
Gotta get rid of this by tomorrow
Gotta get rid of this by tomorrow
Gotta get rid of this by tomorrow
Gotta get rid of this by tomorrow
Things will be different this time tomorrow
Things will be different this time tomorrow
Things will be better this time tomorrow
Things will be better this time tomorrow
To know is to forget.
