Renting A Room

Rented a room inside my own head There's no place like home I guess A window that faces the backyard A blue moon I can howl at Bought me a house inside my own skin Kinda small But it's mine to live in Stood in line Signing all the papers Never made me a tenant Washed-out wallpaper Plastered all over my heart Grown-up family photos Of a past we won't talk about Please Let me out Please Let me out Please Let me out Please Let me out Bought a car with my own money Built a doghouse out back for a puppy Parked it out front on the curb So the neighbors would see it Got a cat for a little company Named her Cathy after Aunt Kathy She keeps me from getting lonely Though she's no replacement Of washed-out wallpaper Plastered all over my heart Grown-up family photos Of a past we won't talk about Please Let me out Please Let me out Please Let me out Please Let me out
