So here you are Back in one of your homes You fetch a jar And drink alone The kitchen's tidy The windows clean The fridge is filled up But your body's lean You crash on the couch You feel like a foreigner Then you go out take your bag Ready packed in the corner In the moment the door is clicking shut You know your engine will never stop Living a life on a spinning record Home is a dust collector Life in passing You're always on the hop Always on the road That's the job You'd driven nails into the wall And you'd built in new doors And you'd done everything To have the setting you were looking for Now the kitchen's still tidy And the windows clean The food's rotten That's downright mean In the moment the door is clicking shut You know your engine will never stop Living a life on a spinning record Home is a dust collector
