Lyrics

Verse 1

The plate has been on the table for three days The sauce has dried to a continent A map of something that was eaten I don't remember what it was

Chorus

The barking is the only thing that moves The barking is the only thing that moves The woman next door has chosen the floor And the barking is the only thing that moves

Verse 2

The fridge hums in the key of A I didn't know fridges had keys This one does, a single note The note the room is tuned to

Chorus

The barking is the only thing that moves The barking is the only thing that moves The woman next door has chosen the floor And the barking is the only thing that moves

Bridge

(spoken, barely) The silence has a shape It is the shape of the room With the barking removed

Chorus

The barking is the only thing that moves The barking is the only thing that moves The woman next door has chosen the floor And the barking is the only thing that moves

Outro

The plate The continent The map The room The barking The silence The shape
