  • Lightning hits the house of wax
    Poets spill out on the street
    To set alight the incomplete
    Remainders of the future

    Hidden in the yard
    Hidden in the yard

    Thunder drowns the trumpets blast
    Poets scatter through the night
    But they can only dream of flight
    Away from their confusion

    Hidden in the yard
    Underneath the wall
    Buried deep below a thousand layers lay
    The answer to it all

    Lightning hits the house of wax
    Woman scream and run around
    To dance upon the battleground
    Like wild demented horses

    Hidden in the yard
    Underneath the wall
    Buried deep below a thousand layers lay
    The answer to it all
    Yeah

    Hidden in the yard
    Underneath the wall
    Buried deep below a thousand layers lay
    The answer to it all
    Ooh... Publisher: Kobalt Music Publishing Ltd.

  • Christy from Palm Springs, CaI love how this song, and many of Paul's other songs that don't directly make sense, leave it all up to your imagination. Every time I hear this song my own little music video plays itself in my head and it makes me think of things and I get kind of emotional and stuff.
