housekeeping (lp version)

You

Sit on the floor,

Broken like clouds.

You scratch your knees 'til they crack and bleed.

I

Walk out of the door,

Naked and bored,

And raise my head to the weeping sky.[Chorus]

You call my name but I can't answer.

You call my name but I can't say anything.We

Looked at the sea,

Sat on the edge.

I gripped your hand until my fingers hurt.

Now,

Somebody screams on the same dirty beach;

He throws down his arms

And he falls to the sand.[Chorus: x2]
