How He Entered Lyrics - The Waiting Room - Tindersticks

his is how he entered 

How he came in 

With an open heart and his eyes wide 

A rubber in his pocket 

With odd socks, and a skip in his step 

In an ill-fitting suit with something up his sleeve 

A sliver of a dream, a last chance 

And the fear in his eyes of how dear it was held 

This is how he entered 

How he came in 

Falling from the back of a transit van 

Crumpled, desperate for relief from the humdrum 

Each step a story, a song in the making 

Each step cemented the leaving 

The broken hearts left behind 

They were just material to him 

And how they would come to pursue him 

How they would eventually come to drag him back in

This is how he entered 

How he came in 

With his hair combed, he stood in the doorway 

Like a lost dog holding his missing poster 

Just to be sure - to be sure everyone knew just how lost he was 

Telling his story he broke onions and sang songs 

The street walkers carol 

Soft tissue 

The fear of emptiness 

Planting holes to grow some money 

These were his songs 

And this was how he came in 

Photos 

This was how he entered 

How he came in 

With chips in his pocket 

Just waiting for a chance to get into the game 

With his hair combed and the checks on his shirt just right 

He sang of it but knew nothing of it 

A house of cards by an open window 

A pack of fragments 

An unsolvable puzzle 

He knew nothing of what you needed from him 

He knew nothing of giving 

He only knew of his desires 

He only knew of that moment 

This is how he entered 

This is how he came in 

This is how he entered 

How he came in
