Through the doldrum roar, the great northeastern lines
Coupled carriage ticking light, my metronome
I see the housing glow, the skyline of cheap gold
And crooked teeth I will call home for the day or so

You can't carry me away now
Please don't steal me from my house
You can't carry me away now
I've just laid my head down
You can't carry me away now
Please don't steal me from my house
You can't carry me
Don't steal me from my house

Inside the housing glow
I stiffen my tired shoes
With the starch of family food
Oh, I've missed you so

You can't carry me away now
Please don't steal me from my house
You can't carry me away now
I've just laid my head down
You can't carry me away now
Please don't steal me from my house
You can't carry me
Don't steal me from my house
