Crossed Wires

I went out and felt the sun on my face

Then a tug on my leg and now I'm

Back in the cave

There's a moment of peace

That I just can't re-create



I need sleep but my brain won't get tired

I smell like smoke from electrical fires

Don't touch me I've got

Crossed wires

Keep your fingers free from these

Crossed wires

Crossed wires, crossed wires



A day like this, we should be out on the road

With the sky so clear and the air so cold

There's blankets in the back

Bundle up, my little urchin

'cause we never got the heat working

No, we never got the heat working



Well you don't touch me 'cause I've got

Crossed wires

Keep your fingers free from me

Crossed wires

Crossed wires, crossed wires



Collecting the notes you slid under the door

But I go blank

When I try to remember what we were good for

I'm cracked, and I'm cross

And it's no way to be

Let's just get lost

Maybe it'll come back to me

Back to me



Now you can't touch me I've got

Crossed wires

Keep your fingers free from these

Crossed wires

I smell like smoke from electrical fires

Oh I've got

Crossed wires, crossed wires

Yeah, yeah

Crossed wires
