The Taxpayers - The windows break lyrics

Piles and piles Of old magazines Windows locked up and hidden from the street In a crawlspace, forgotten money People tensing and waiting to come back home You can feel the tension in the house The moment you walk through the door Sudden madness allow me in again When the first train flies past the house, miles away The screaming starts and it feels like minefield Neighbors silently hiding in the shadows There's a person locked in, behind that door - Don't let anybody catch you turning the handle It's a long, long night.
