[Verse 1]
At the front door, you were greeted
By a carpet of silver and gold
To silence visiting footsteps
And the stories footsteps told
And the walls were lined with paintings
From friends that she'd once known
Above an L-shaped couch and easy chair
In a living room she called home
[Pre-Chorus 1]
The toilet door unhinged
Like no-one even cared
The mirror in the bathroom
That no-one could have shared
The kitchen door ajar
You feel the cutting cold
A sink of last year's dishes
An oven of last year's mould
[Chorus]
If you felt like neon tetra
In aquarium after dark
Your day spent shining brightly
When they've paid to see the shark
At the front door, you were greeted
By a carpet of silver and gold
To silence visiting footsteps
And the stories footsteps told
And the walls were lined with paintings
From friends that she'd once known
Above an L-shaped couch and easy chair
In a living room she called home
[Pre-Chorus 1]
The toilet door unhinged
Like no-one even cared
The mirror in the bathroom
That no-one could have shared
The kitchen door ajar
You feel the cutting cold
A sink of last year's dishes
An oven of last year's mould
[Chorus]
If you felt like neon tetra
In aquarium after dark
Your day spent shining brightly
When they've paid to see the shark
