Won't stay in tune but the action's pretty good
Used to be sunburst
Now it's bare wood

I'd varnish these floors
Reckon I should
Love used to walk here
Now it's bare wood

Now there's a hole in the map where a mansion once stood
The ivy died off
Now it's bare wood

Thought I knew love
Guess I misunderstood
I painted valentines red
Now they're bare wood

You end up in a box
You've tried to be good
The rich go out in copper
Yours is bare wood

And this rickety stage where the king once stood
Never an encore
Now it's bare wood
