[Verse 1]
A house made of glass
Is only for decoration
The builders would build
And then it tumbles down

[Refrain]
Ooh, Valerie's so kind
Valerie's so kind
If you want her (if you want her)(x2)

[Pre-Chorus]
Her brother's passed out on the deck
With a bomb strapped to his chest
The ambulance is standing by;
Tears begin to fill his eyes

[Chorus]
I feel winds are changing
You will not remain
Set fire to the places
Where our ghost resides

[Verse 2]
The springs in the chair
Were never meant to hold the weight of
A child's neglect
The seat has rotted out
[Refrain]
Ooh, Valerie's so kind
Valerie's so kind
If you want her (if you want her)(x2)

[Pre-Chorus]
Her brother's passed out on the deck
With a bomb strapped to his chest
The ambulance is standing by;
Tears begin to fill his eyes

[Chorus]
I feel winds are changing
You will not remain
Set fire to the places
Where our ghost resides

[Instrumental]

[Bridge]
She can die
Or live with his hands around her neck
(Around her neck)
There's a wretched mildew that sits atop
All good flights will leave (x2)
Too proud to believe
All good flights will leave (x2)
[Chorus]
I feel winds are changing
You will not remain
Set fire to the places
Where our ghost resides

[Outro](x2)
Now we only watch
The shimmer light up
The faces of every disappointed child
Tucked into bed by their mother waiting for
Their missing father
He's never coming back
