Bad Wiring

[Verse 1] I keep a light on in the wrong room Keep a matchbook under the rain I got a mouth full of loose ends And a switchblade kind of name There's a hum behind the mirror There's a buzz under the floor I was born in bad weather With a hand on every door [Pre-Chorus] Don't touch the panel Don't ask why I spark a little strange When the room goes blind [Chorus] Bad wiring Still lit in the dark Bad wiring Second-hand heart Bad wiring Running hot in the walls I don't burn right But I burn after all [Verse 2] I learned to smile through a short fuse Learned to sleep beside the flame Every room I ever walked through Still remembers my name There's a saint in the socket There's a dog in the wire There's a choir in the circuit Singing low through the fire [Pre-Chorus] Don't touch the panel Don't ask why I spark a little strange When the room goes blind [Chorus] Bad wiring Still lit in the dark Bad wiring Second-hand heart Bad wiring Running hot in the walls I don't burn right But I burn after all
