south hampton avenue lyrics

She lies in bed, out of her head, suckin' a cigarette
Closin' her eyes she really tries to make believe she's dead
But she's not, she's not

In the next tomb, her old man's room, it's another night
He slips away on cathode ray into the TV light
Yeah, it's on but he's gone

We live on South Hampton Avenue
We'll leave the welcome light on for you
Now that you think you know who we are
How do you like us so far?

Right down the stairs, my mom is there under the mushroom cloud
Sometimes she sits, sometimes she knits, sometimes she talks out loud
To herself, she's allowed

Hangin' on the wall, up and down the hall pictures of family
My brother Dave is on display for all the world to see
Now he's gone, he moved on

We live on South Hampton Avenue
We'll leave the welcome light on for you
Now that you think you know who we are
How do you like us so far? How do you like us so far?

We live on South Hampton Avenue
I've got a feelin' that so do you

We live on South Hampton Avenue
We'll leave the welcome light on for you
Now that we think we know who you are
How do you like it so far? How do you like it so far?
How do you like it so far? South Hampton Avenue
