Lyrics

Erin

Wake up, oh, wake up
Don't sleep, please
I had another one of those dreams
Where your feet are bound together
And the tin man is spinning again

Oh, my hand, I will stand
As the world turns around me
Lock the door to the yard
Where the wind is bound
Take all my fragile anchors away

Who you gonna call?
The monsters in the pipelines
Are breaking down the walls
Another dancer in the wind
Another splinter under sore skin
Another handcuffed holy man
Another angel in chains

And I know you will try
But you cannot protect me
From these shadows inside me
Oh, the wolf is outside
And he will try to swallow this house

Who you gonna call?
The monsters in the pipelines
Are breaking down the walls
Another dancer in the wind
Another splinter under sore skin
Another handcuffed holy man
Another angel in chains

These dreams I have are so much bigger
Than the weight of a knife or a shotgun's trigger
And if you tighten this strings you're gonna break my wings
Oh, and you won't hear me, hear me scream
There's apparitions behind the bedroom blinds
There's black ink in the bathroom sink
And if the gunman don't let her go
The snake outside will swallow the house

Yeah, who you gonna call?
The monsters in the pipelines
Are breaking down the walls
Another dancer in the wind
Another splinter under sore skin
Another handcuffed holy man
Another angel in chains
