Am D
Written longhand in your diary

In bags piled into a phone booth

Pressed against glass

Shouted aloud alone in gear at a red light

Stored at a high rate of interest
[Pre-Chorus]

Everything

That you've done

Caught on tape

Unspeakable things
Am D
Gathered and sold at auction

Am D
Go on overlooked in the kitchen

Out the back window, through to the laneway

Drawn in chalk then washed away
G Em C
Remember that day turns to night

And cries for blood at the Cinesphere

What you'd say

If we could see

Every day

Every key

If we got in
G
By brute force
G D
You never ever could go home again
[Chorus]
G Em Am D
G Em Am D
You're never going home again
