I'm lying as far out
   Towards the edge
   As possible
   So far out
   That i'm almost tripping over
   You lie behind me
   Your breath is heavy
   You're sleeping
  
   There are some screws
   That are coming loose
   From two holes in the wall
   The plaster's sifting down
   Resting like sleep-sand in my eyes
  
   There's a cabinet
   (Hanging over my bed)
   Filled with all my secret things
   (Filled with all my secret things)
   Every night i lie
   (Staring at it)
   I'm so afraid that it will fall down
   Onto my face
  
   I know what is keeping
   My cabinet from falling down
  
   It's very a small bird
   Made of ceramics
   Fastened by a thread
   To the bottom of the cabinet
   When you're awake
   You play around with it
   Then i get so scared
   That the thread won't be strong enough
  
   I'm hiding my head under the pillow
   Hoping that
   The bird won't fly away
  
   There's a cabinet
   (Hanging above my bed)
   Filled with all my secrets things
   (Filled with secret things)
   Every night i lie
   (Staring up at it)
   I'm so afraid that it will fall down
  
   'Cause what if the cabinet
   (Were to fall down)
   And what if it hit my face
   (Would you get frightened by)
   The things that you would see
   (The things that you would see)
   Or would try to mend it
   (Would you even try)
   There's a cabinet
   Hanging above my bed
   Filled with secret things
