house arrest

They handcuffed me to my guitar
They hid the keys in the keyboard case

A forced confession on cassette
I always plead I'm innocent
My explanation is all in a blunder

I'm breaking out in a sweat
Cause i'm under--
Cause now i'm under--

House arrest
I'm out on my own
Heart minus you
X O X
I times I
Divided by pi
(Tartar Rex having sex
'Cause you're my my baby
X O X)

I learned of things as the time slipped by
The time stops and you keep on pressin' rewind
Gave up on speaking in the present tense
They just keep on planting the evidence

It makes no fucking difference
Sequestered in my habitat of narcissus

Cause now i'm under--
House arrest
Out on my own
Heart minus you
Ah, you and me X O X
I times I
Divided by pie
X O X and and a bottle of Mexican wine
Tartar rex
Having sex


We jammed but I was far less able
Hung from the ceiling by a quarter-inch cable

I took my bass in the bath next door
Rolled a drum
And i put my penis in the hole

The escape hatch was hairy
And i went back to the kingdom where i was buried
And now i'm back in--
