I Must Belong Somewhere

[00:08.98] Leave the bright blue door on the white-washed wall
[00:13.53] Leave the death ledger under city hall
[00:18.16] Leave the joyful air in that rubber ball today
[00:27.17] Just leave the lilac print on the linen sheet
[00:32.12] Leave the bird you killed at your father's feet
[00:36.85] Let the sideways rain in the crooked street remain
[00:46.15] Leave the whimpering dog in his cold kennel
[00:50.73] Leave the dead starlet on her pedestal
[00:55.58] Leave the acid kids in their green fishbowls today
[01:04.85] Leave the sad guitar in its hard-shell case
[01:09.60] Leave the worried look on your lover's face
[01:14.02] Let the orange embers in the fireplace remain
[01:23.65] 'Cause everything, it must belong somewhere
[01:28.08] The train off in the distance, bicycle chained to the stairs
[01:33.25] Everything, it must belong somewhere
[01:37.53] I know that now, that's why I'm staying here
[01:42.64]
[01:48.73] Leave the ocean's roar in that turquoise shell
[01:53.48] Leave the widower in his private hell
[01:58.15] Leave the liberty in that broken bell today
[02:07.05] Just leave the epic poem on its yellowed page
[02:11.97] Leave the grey macaw in his covered cage
[02:16.42] Let the travelling band on the interstate remain
[02:25.91] 'Cause everything, it must belong somewhere
[02:30.11] Sound-stage in California, televisions in Times Square, yeah
[02:35.44] Everything must belong somewhere
[02:39.57] I know that now, that's why I'm staying here
[02:44.02] Well, I know that now that's why I'm staying here
[02:49.38]
[02:55.43] Leave the secret talk on the trundle bed
[03:00.04] Leave the garden tools in the rusted shed
[03:04.61] Leave those bad ideas in your troubled head today
[03:13.58] Just leave the restless ghost in his old hotel
[03:18.32] Leave the homeless man out in that cardboard cell
[03:22.83] Let the painted horse on the carousel remain
[03:32.33] 'Cause everything, it must belong somewhere
[03:36.28] Just like the gold around her finger or the silver in his hair
[03:41.36] Yeah, everything, it must belong somewhere
[03:45.79] I know that now, that's why I'm staying here
[03:50.25] Oh, I know that now, that's why I'm staying here
[03:57.20] In truth, the forest hears each sound
[04:01.78] Each blade of grass as it lies down
[04:06.39] The world requires no audience
[04:10.89] No witnesses, no witnesses
[04:17.51]
[04:24.41] Leave the old town drunk on his wooden stool
[04:29.23] Leave the autumn leaves in their swimming pool
[04:33.88] Leave the poor black child in his crumbling school today
[04:43.27] Leave the novelist in his daydream tune
[04:47.97] Leave the scientist in her rubik's cube
[04:52.41] Let the true genius in the padded room remain
[05:01.64] Leave the horses hair on the slanted bow
[05:06.22] Leave the slot machines on the riverboat
[05:10.67] Leave the cauliflower in the casserole today
[05:19.41] Just leave the hot bright trash in their shopping malls
[05:24.15] Leave the hawks of war in their capitals
[05:28.68] Let the organs moan in the cathedral remain
[05:37.93] 'Cause everything, it must belong somewhere
[05:41.90] They lock the devil in the basement, threw God up into the air
[05:46.95] Yeah, everything, it must belong somewhere
[05:51.27] You know it's true, I wish you'd leave me here
[05:55.61] Now you know it's true, why don't you leave me here?
[06:02.18]
