[00:14.856]I think Mengistu Haile Mariam is my neighbor
[00:17.615]Whoever it is moved in and put an automated gate up
[00:20.876]Repainted brick walls atop which now cameras rotated
[00:23.884]By eight, the place dark, one light burn later
[00:27.645]Razor wire like a slinky
[00:29.651]Rumor is parcel bomb took the secretary right eye and pinky
[00:33.663]Evenings, he take a snifter of whisky on the veranda
[00:37.171]I wonder what he's thinking
[00:38.173]In the morning, the maid brings coffee from the kitchen
[00:41.430]Some nights strange music plays, I lay in bed and listen
[00:45.192]Downstairs I hear my mother breaking dishes, my father trippin'
[00:48.951]It's been quite bad lately, high tension
[00:51.958]Galvanized steel security fencin'
[00:53.715]To get through the day, give myself a mission

[01:11.516]The dog looks up and whines, the hills are alive with land mines
[01:15.279]I live in my mind
[01:16.784]Not sure what I'm looking for, but I'll know when I find
[01:19.291]My mother sent the gardener to look for me, but the sky is a great place to hide

[01:29.569]Ever so slowly, slowly locked up in your own house
[01:35.085]Never told the truth in your life? Can't start now
[01:40.853]Ever so slowly, slowly locked up in your own house
[01:45.625]The guests start having doubts, the host nowhere to be found
[01:49.384]It's ghosts in the buildings bones, so many skeletons in the ground
[01:53.396]When everything collapse, he just melt into the crowd
[01:56.405]Suitcase packed, melted down the crown
[01:58.411]But a haven's only safe as long as they want you around
[02:02.171]Tomorrow it's no tellin'
[02:04.678]Hollow when you done sellin'
[02:08.190]You see how well they treat me?
[02:09.693]My own courtyard for private strolls.
