Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti
House Arrest
"Hi, Ariel. I hope you're very happy that your car was impounded for not paying any of the... any of the parking tickets. I hope you learned your lesson, but let me tell you, I'm going to go tomorrow to work until 6 o' clock in the morning to give you money to get this. You are an irresponsible individual. I'm really very upset with you, Ariel. You are unbelievable. Call me when you have a chance."

I'm so sorry, dad

They handcuffed me to my guitar
They hid the keys in the keyboard case

A forced confession on cassette
I always plead I'm innocent
My explanation is all in a blunder

I'm breaking out in a sweat
'Cause I'm under
'Cause now I'm under

House arrest
I'm out on my own
Heart minus you
Ah, you and me, X-O-X
I times I
Divided by pi
Tartar Rex having sex
'Cause you're my my baby
X-O-X

I learned of things as the time slipped by
The time stops and you keep on pressin' rewind
Gave up on speaking in the present tense
They just keep on planting the evidence
It makes no fucking difference
Sequestered in my habitat of narcissus

'Cause now I'm under
House arrest
Out on my own
Heart minus you
Ah, you and me, X-O-X
I times I
Divided by pi
X-O-X and a bottle of Mexican wine
Tartar rex
Having sex
X-O-X

We jammed but I was far less able
Hung from the ceiling by a quarter-inch cable

I took my bass in the bath next door
I rolled a drum
And I put my penis in the hole

The escape hatch was hairy
And I went back to the kingdom where I was buried
And now I'm back in
House arrest
Out on my own
Heart minus you
Ah, you and me, X-O-X
I times I
Divided by pi, X-O-X
I times I
Out on my own

House arrest
You do the running
House arrest
Divided by pi
Guest service
At times

House arrest, ooh ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
House arrest
Gimme house arrest
Gimme, gimme, girl

House arrest
Gimme, gimme
Gimme house arrest
Gimme, gimme, gimme
House arrest
House arrest
A little house arrest
Oh, house arrest
Come on, girl
