Lyrics:

When your day implodes
And the afternoon grows old
And you step out side to the raindrops collide
And your dog slips out and you shake the cobwebs free
Is there more to this breath that you are taking

There's a lack of breeze behind the huckleberry trees
And the spin out there is that no one really cares
For a poster child of last decades' post divide
Is it just a natural conversion

Who will stand there to connect them
Are our houses merely human

We began as friends in the language of the then
With iconic ways that would be looked upon for days
With no path to stray and I am sure I swear
Is there something in this that is worth saving

See the roof nearby it was damaged by the sky
And the neighbours to you are no longer
There's a chill in the air aforementioned disrepair
Are these moments that are to be treasured

Whoever had said I had the answer
They don't live here next to the house of cancer

On a scale of ten you took the best of all them
And you collect your shoes from the carpet of abuse
There's a light in side not as bright but just as clean
Is there still something that you didn't mention

They are building yachts in the former parking lot
For the pride and joy of the recently employed
They will offer them like chicken or a hen
Are these vessels of our better nature

Who said you never heard the answer
Living by the ghosts of the house of cancer

You saw him scratch the floor as a bug flew in the door
It was dim and soon, how those barks could fill a room
Just a perfect end and I wish we could pretend
If tomorrow would be all that was waiting

There are rules and bets and designs that will connect
To the fault and foul of their offers and our pleas
With your hands out reached out but replies are now delayed
Is there really too much to take with you

A question can be a form of answer
Like Jeopardy on in the house cancer

They are covering with bricks the view before your eyes
Still the work on this it lasts for days
It's relentless and it spends all your energy to end
In the morning will you still be craving

With a paper cup and your dog who's just a pup
They both came and went, a position you resent
To reply in kind, oh how could we be so blind
Is the wonder of the world around you breaking

Caliphates and praise are not an answer
Just lies in the walls of the house of cancer

See the flowers wilt from the government they built
As the hammers wail on that ship that hasn't sailed
We will fall behind of that message over time
Is it written in our constitution

Should we sit and wait, for delivery that is late
We can watch or wonder what the deal is
You go seek relief, throw some water on belief
That the best of the days has not been wasted

Neither the watcher nor the dancer
Living laughing at the house of cancer

You took all the best shots and the doctor's got a lot
Of the ideas that make even children made to wait
There's a line that forms and it's really quite a run
Can we take the next ride to the demonstration

In your farmers cap and your dog upon your lap
In your favourite chair, it's the only chair that's there
You will look out West through the window to the night
Is there something out there for you to get through to

It's just a guess but not an answer
The porch light's just out in the house of cancer

At the Christmas parade it got started late today
It was smaller than anyone had expected
And the babies cry while the mother scans the food
What has happened to the line down at the grocery

The mayor is irate but she's been saving the date
For all of our cares, I'm always so impressed
By the comments they bring you can hear those echoes sing
Where the hell are those Saints going to march to

It's not a letter soon to be answered
Park it in the lot of the house of cancer

Please I beg you do not answer
Just forward care of the house of cancer
