[Verse 1]
Burn bright through the night, two pockets lead the way
Two doors to go between, the wall was raised today
Two doors with names before your others and your own
Keep these books well stocked away and take your happy home

[Chorus]
My carpenter's out and running about and talking to the street
My pockets are out and running about and barking in the street
To tell what I have hidden there

[Verse 2]
Burn bright through the night, two pockets lead the way
Two doors to go between, the wall was raised today
Raise the walls and shine its floors, the carpenter should rest
So that when you tire of one side, the other serves you best

[Chorus]
My carpenter's out and running about and talking to the street
My pockets are out and running about and barking in the street
To tell what I have hidden there

[Bridge]
My ears ring and hear eclipsing time
Listen to the holler
Listen to my walls within, my tongue
Turns to see you in, my ears go tin
The air quicken tension building inference and suddenly
Life and how to live it

[Verse 3]
Raise the walls and shine its floors, the carpenter should rest
So that when you tire of one side, the other serves you best
Read about the wisdom lost, the knock-knock-knock
A secret knock, one hammer's locked, the other wisdom lost

[Chorus]
My carpenter's out and running about and talking to the street
My pockets are out and running about and barking in the street
To tell what I have hidden there

My carpenter's out and running about and barking in the
Listen to the holler
My pockets are out and running about and barking in the street
To tell what I have hidden there

[Outro]
Listen, listen to the holler
I'm gonna write a book, it will be called
Life and How to Live It
