Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I am the key to the lock in your house
That keeps your toys in the basement
And if you get too far inside
You'll only see my reflection
It's always best when the cover's up
I am the pick in the ice
Do not cry or hit the alarm
You know, we're friends till we die
[Chorus]
And either way you turn
I'll be there
Open up your skull
I'll be there
Climbing up the walls
[Verse 2]
It's always best when the light is off
It's always better on the outside
Fifteen blows to the back of your head
Fifteen blows to your mind
So lock the kids up safe tonight
Shut the eyes in the cupboard
I got the smell of a local man
Who's got the loneliest feeling
[Chorus]
That either way he turns
I'll be there
Open up your skull
I'll be there
Climbing up the walls
[Verse 3]
Climbing up the walls
Climbing up the walls
