Blue Light, Red Light (Someone's There)

I live in a tiny closet
A lukewarm cold water flat
With room for a couple of cinders
And a mouse, a hole, and a trap
I don't worry about the flights or count the stairs
'Cause I know someone's there

I took a high paying sweeping-up job
Dusting after somebody else
Seeing that there's clean on the windows
Convincing the snow to melt
I don't worry about the ride or the subway fare
'Cause I know someone's there

One day we'll move uptown, or even out to the countryside
And for every leaf on a tree, we'll add one cub to the pride
Who cares if the floor ain't level or if the ceiling falls in?
Haunted by the devil, and ghosts and boogeymen
I can't be concerned, why should I care?
No place I'd go alone would compare
'Cause I know, I know you're there

One day we'll move uptown, or even out to the countryside
And for every leaf on a tree, we'll add one cub to the pride
Who cares if the floor ain't level or if the ceiling falls in?
Haunted by the devil and ghosts and boogeymen
I can't be concerned, why should I care?
No place I'd go alone would compare
'Cause I know, I know, you're there
