Wrecking Ball Lyrics

tear down the bearing wall 
put up a picture window 
something to look through 
at the bastard colors 
burnt sienna 

put down the wrecking ball 
who has a friend, who needs one? 
i've got a way to get to work in almost any city 
doesn't matter where 
take a needle, i won't be there 
privileges forsaken there 
liberties i've taken take me nowhere 

put down the wrecking ball 
don't let a childhood linger 
they'll take the world apart and break my baby brother's finger 
so he can't shake my hand 
guard the dead against my legacy 
and lack the wound no more 

run from nowhere, nowhere follows you 

burn down the house 
make sure the family is inside 
nothing more to tether you 
also no one there to catch you crying 

nothing but my famous pillow 
and my father's rocking chair 
(get a sliver when you sit there) 
every mess i make i make a run from nowhere 
nowhere follows you
