We keep our zippers closed
Our mouths are shut like doors are closing
Slam and everyone feels like the house is coming down
We keep our noses to the grindstone
Don't look up for fear we're hiding something
From ourselves, but we're not finding out

While you sit on the fence
I'll stand in the doorway
Will you just take a chance
On how we spend the rest of our lives
While you sit on the fence
I'll stand in the doorway
Will you take your two cents and just put them in

I put my ear down to the rail
I stick my finger in the wind
The radio is on but nothing's coming in
I sit down listen to the clock it ticks the seconds by
I wonder what I'm doing here
Just listen to the time go by

While you sit on the fence
I'll stand in the doorway
Will you just take a chance
On how we spend the rest of our lives
While you sit on the fence
Well I'll stand in the doorway
Will you take your two cents and just put them in

Seems these days
It never rains
But this'll change
Cause when it rains it pours for days and days and days and days and

We keep our zippers closed
Our mouths are shut like doors are closing
Slam and everyone feels like the house is falling down
We keep our noses to the grindstone
Don't look up for fear we're hiding something
From ourselves, but we're not finding out

While you sit on the fence
I'll stand in the doorway
Will you just take a chance on how we spend the rest of our lives
While you sit on the fence
I'll stand in the doorway
Will you take your two cents and just put them in
