Put everything in boxes
Your head in a paper bag
Leave all the windows open
Leave the beds unmade
Tell them that you've gone to see
If you can find out what it means
When your mind leaves your body
Turn off the house
Turn off the house
Nothing you need to get back to
No one you need to see
Leave all the messages blue
Don't even look at the screen
Full body gentle shutdown
So many people to let down
Don't even think about me
Turn off the house
Turn off the house
You're bailing out
You're free of it now
Full body gentle shutdown
So many people to let down
Don't even think about me
Turn off the house
Turn off the house
Turn off the house
Turn off the house
You're bailing out
You're free of it now
You're bailing out
You're free of it now
