[Lyric] House Full of Orchids (The Listeners)

Sitting in your white room
The sunlight shuffles in
Waiting on that miserable bastard
Our most merciful friend

To feel your feet beneath you
To have seen the wind
Keep at least one eye on the moon
Wear your pearls until the end

And over and over and over they tell us
That this is just what people do
But someone has filled your house up with orchids
And I hope there wasn't anything they forgot to say to you

She never meant to leave the ocean
There should always be champagne
Tender green shoots are hanging down
Gets so quiet when it rains

The two of you in your convertible
They had it so good, they said
Charmed everyone at every dinner
Now you're like a broken baby bird in your bed
And over and over and over they tell us
That this is just what people do
And someone has filled your house up with orchids
And I never thought this would happen to you
