lyrics

Jeffrey stumbled along down suburban streets, carrying his shoes in his hands, five beers buzzing through him and around him like a halo. He was looking for a party to crash. Turning a corner he saw a crowd of people milling around a huge house. Drawn to it like a moth he pushed his way through the crowd, mounted the porch, opened the door, and went inside.

Jeffrey thought this was the largest house he'd ever seen. He passed through room after room swarming with people of every kind. No one wanted to talk to him, and he felt hostile eyes follow him wherever he went. A black ball of panic formed inside him and started sinking through his guts. Pushing his way through the people he found a bathroom in the hall. He opened the door, he locked it, curled up into a ball by the toilet, and waited.

He couldn't tell how long he waited in there. But he finally realized that he could no longer hear anyone outside. Cautiously he opened the door a crack and peeked out, and he realized that the house was now deserted. Not even the drinks were left behind from the party. He realized he couldn't remember where the front door was. Searching around he couldn't find so much as a window. The hallways wound on and on. The lights began to hum, and he felt a strange nausea overcome him. He came to a stairway leading downwards that he could not remember from before. Something was following him he realized. Like a man forced by fire out the window, he went down the flight of stairs.
And he went down the flight of stairs.
And he went down the flight of stairs.
And he went down the flight of stairs.
Running and running and running away.
