[Verse 1]
Evening and I'm sitting here
Oh, I've got some things to do
Candles burning down, I fear
Have to change it soon

[Verse 2]
But its shadow flitting on the wall
Dr. Sam going in next door
And Jenny laughing on the phone
Seems strange that this is home

[Verse 3]
Evening at the court again
I've been here far too long
Looking 'round the room again
Sometimes brings it on

[Chorus]
Oh, pictures crooked on the wall
Clothes, they lay where they fall
Tattered empire souvenirs
Lie in the dust of years
A coronation mug of mine
Heirlooms of a bygone line
Dresser on all fours, an open drawer
[Verse 4]
Mmmm, I got to move again
Seems I've been here too long
Looking 'round, around the room again
Sometimes brings it on

[Chorus]
Pictures crooked on the wall
Clothes, they lay where they fall
Tattered empire souvenirs
Lie in the dust of years
Coronation mug of mine
Heirlooms of a bygone line
Dresser on all fours, an open drawer
