Lyrics
(Verse 1)
Well she’s up all night, with the TV on mute,
Talkin' to herself, wearin’ just one boot.
She's seein' things in the shadows, dancin' in the hall,
Laughin' at the wallpaper, she's havin' herself a ball.
Every time the wind blows, she thinks it’s me,
Peekin' through the curtains, but there ain't nothin' to see.
Phantoms in the kitchen, whispers in the dark,
Baby's off the deep end, bless her wild heart.
(Chorus)
Oh, baby's hearing voices again,
Chasin' round the echoes that howl with the wind.
She's paintin' up the town with her mind on the rocks,
My baby's hearing voices, they just won’t stop.
(Verse 2)
She’s down at the diner, talkin' to the toast,
Says it tells her secrets from the holy ghost.
Poured her coffee on the floor, said it needed rain,
Like a substance-storm inside her brain.
She’s seein' colors that ain't in the sky,
Glitter in her eyes, doesn’t know if she’ll laugh or cry.
Stray cats and alley chats, she's holdin' court with them,
My baby's on a trip, and it ain't to Bethlehem.
(Chorus)
Yeah, baby's hearing voices again,
Speakin' in tongues, thinks she's got alien friends.
She's lookin' for signs in a pile of rocks,
My baby's hearing voices, like a paradox.
(Bridge)
She used to be my anchor, now
now she's driftin' out to sea,
Caught in a riptide of whispers and conspiracy.
I hope she finds her way back, finds some peace of mind,
'Til then, she's talkin' to a world that's unconfined.
(Chorus)
Oh, baby's hearing voices again,
Mixin’ up her cocktails with a phantom’s gin.
Slippin’ through her fingers like the sands in the docks,
My baby’s hearing voices, unlocked Pandora's box.
(Outro)
As the jukebox keeps playin' that old familiar song,
We all hope and pray that baby will find where she belongs.
'Til the clouds roll away and she's back in the clear,
Baby's hearin' voices, hope she doesn't disappear.
