messy - terra spencer lyrics

[verse 1]
over pale german ale, michael tells us the tale
of the man who had lived one floor down
for fifty long years, no one else ventured near
they walked through the hall, unaware of the squalor
that he kept around

[verse 2]
newspapers and bags, wrappers and rags
treasures and trash piled high
a great wall of germany built from its history
bric*a*brac bricks and the buzzing of flies

[verse 3]
all alone in his room, sealed in his tomb
when they finally opened thе door
he had died in his chair, three days resting thеre
mountains of memories in stacks on the floor

[verse 4]
what makes it so strong, the urge to hold on
to things we should really let go?
in a one*man museum where people can’t see them
secrets we keep from the neighbors below

[chorus]
and munich wakes up in the morning and washes his face
sadness makes marks you can feel in the dark
fresh paint and plaster are meant to erase
climbing each flight of the staircase, you might feel
the footsteps of those gone before
the coming and going, the uneasy unknowing
of those who have been through the war
[verse 5]
michael leads us upstairs to the room we will share
after we’ve played our concert that night
while the boys go out drinking, i lay here thinking
ashamed to feel lonely, i read truman capote
just to keep on the light

[verse 6]
till i hear them tumbling, laughing and mumbling
stumbling down the cobblestone streets
in just a few hours they’ll take their cold showers
and put cowboy boots back on their feet

[chorus]
munich wakes up in the morning and washes his face
sadness makes marks you can feel in the dark
fresh paint and plaster are meant to erase
climbing each flight of the staircase, you might feel
the footsteps of those gone before
the coming and going, the uneasy unknowing
of those who have been through the war
the coming and going, the uneasy unknowing
of those who have been through the war
