Intro: 2x - So who was first Obviously not me She's locked up in - side herself And I can't get anything free So won't somebody tell me please Why the former owner al - ways keeps the keys There's no bubbles to burst No bursting out crying nor dying of thirst She's utterly tied to somebody else And it seems he got there first And no, I'm not un - tying The reins around her neck that she feels And I won't try to prise out of her the truth anymore When she lies about the things that she sees Because the former owner al - ways keeps the keys Break: There's no calling Come here, you're necessary to me There's no ex - citement in her face when I im - plore Cor - rupt me and confess to me some more And when we hear trees falling Or see people disappearing Her e - motions won't be reached or re - leased Because the former owner is (keeping the keys) keeping the keys Like a ticket inspector running for a bus Irony's revenge sur - rounds us And it's i - ronic that he promised you he'd never let you go When he's left you used-up and dis - turbed And I said Just as the early bird catches the worm The early cat catches the bird - But that former owner is keeping his word - keeping his word REP & FADE
