There are sounds Coming through the walls from next door Sitting here waiting To turn the recorder on There's a mic in the baseboard Touched up the paint the week before
There are sounds Coming through the walls from next door It's something important But I can't place everything
I send my wife to the market Send the tape to Washington
There are sounds Coming through the walls from next door A woman cleans every Thursday It's not clear how much she knows She never touches the kitchen And when she leaves, she wears different clothes
There are sounds Coming through the walls from next door It came without any warning They went down like dominoes All my theories have vanished and my partner's in Ontario
There are sounds Coming through the walls from next door It's been going on for weeks now What to bring, what not to leave There's a charge in the air here And my partner's in Los Angeles
There are sounds Coming through the walls from next door
Got a message from Virginia Via pouch through Key Biscayne It's just a big pile of numbers Looking for a man to blame
There are sounds Coming through the walls from next door The music is over The sky's blacked out with rain Going down to the airstrip Fire up the midnight plane
There are sounds Coming through the walls from next door
