We went back to our hometown

Used to know it blind just by the sound

The wind off the lake here

And the way people talk

What a shock to hear it again

Husha, husha, darling

Let me sing ya a little song

Before it all goes wrong

Ooh husha, husha, darling

It's a beautiful life

Everything's all right

See it now, it's a lonesome place

In the theatres of our youth, vacant space

You say, "The colours have faded

All the faces have closed"

I propose and you pat my head

Husha, husha, darling

Let me sing ya a little song

Before it all goes wrong

Ooh husha, husha, darling

It's a beautiful life

Everything's all right

Here's the house where I grew up

Someone's selling it for nothing, boarded shut

But we break in the back door

Sleep in two different rooms

While the loons call to satellites

Husha, husha, darling

Let me sing ya a little song

Before it all goes wrong

Ooh husha, husha, darling

It's a beautiful life

Everything's all right

Morning, as you float downstairs

In your Cobain shirt and underwear

There's sun through a window

But there's rain in the air

I wish I could flip some switch

Make this simulation reel and glitch

Have it melt all around me

Try it over again

What a shame there's no going back

Husha, husha, darling

Let me sing ya a little song

Before it all goes wrong

Ooh husha, husha, darling

It's a beautiful life

Everything's all right

Husha, husha, darling

Let me sing ya a little song

Before it all goes wrong

Ooh husha, husha, darling

It's a beautiful life

Everything's all right
