leave a light on

Modest Mouse

People live in homes made of leaves pulled from bananas
Others' houses are colorful, made from wax crayons
My friend's place is remote control
but she don't know where that is
Some things live in gopher holes, somewhere in Texarkana

I know a guy who claims that he is from a different planet
My friend's house is nice but she will still take that for granted

We're leavin', we're l?avin', we're leavin', w?'ll be home soon
We're leavin', we're leavin', we're leavin'
we're leavin', we'll be home soon
We're leavin', we're leavin', we're leavin', we'll be home soon
We're leavin', we're leavin', we're leavin'
we're leavin', we'll be home soon

My friend's house is full of very, very helpful nurses
Some days they have birthdays there
and some days they have hearses
My friend's house is full of cats but they are both allergic
Your house is inside my heart and your heart's where my house is

We're leavin', we're leavin', we're leavin', we'll be home soon
We're leavin', we're leavin', we're leavin'
we're leavin', we'll be home soon
We're leavin', we're leavin', we're leavin', we'll be home soon
We're leavin', we're leavin', we're leavin'
we're leavin', we'll be home soon

I'll leave the light on for you
I'll leave the light on for you
I'll leave the light on for you
I'll leave the light on for you

We're leavin', we're leavin', we're leavin', we'll be home soon
We're leavin', we're leavin', we're leavin'
we're leavin', we'll be home soon
We're leavin', we're leavin', we're leavin', we'll be home soon
We're leavin', we're leavin', we're leavin'
we're leavin', we'll be home soon

I'll leave the light on for you
I'll leave the light on for you
