The Lyrics

Gotta make sure the door's locked, gotta make sure the door's locked, gotta make sure the door's locked...
Just been on a ride to fetch food for tea
And though now it cools down real quick, you see
There's a little thing that I cannot cut out
Gotta make sure that my car won't be stolen now
You tell me that I'm crazy
You tell me I act weirdly
You tell me that I should cease
And I know that you're right but I've gotta keep it tight

I fear my stuff taken from me
So I'm locking constantly
I fear non-returned property
So I'm locking constantly

Always late to bed, I can't sleep tight
Without double-checking my locks, that's right
Twist all the keys 'til I'm locked inside
Then pull on ev'ry handle to make sure it's tight
You tell me that I'm crazy
You tell me I act oddly
You tell me to stop, maybe
You have a point but I cannot risk thieves in the night

I fear my stuff taken from me
So I'm locking constantly
I fear the theft of my kidneys
So I'm locking constantly
I fear my stuff taken from me
So I'm locking constantly
I fear the blame is mine only
So I'm locking constantly

I'm not wasting time as much as it seems
You say "paranoia", I say "certainty"
You tell me that I'm crazy
You tell me I act madly
You tell me to let it be
No "Rule of Three" in sight, it's more "Rule of Thirty-Five"

I fear my stuff taken from me
So I'm locking constantly
I fear I've messed up with my keys
So I'm locking constantly
I fear my stuff taken from me
So I'm locking constantly
I fear a house that's now empty
So I'm locking constantly
I fear my stuff taken from me
So I'm locking constantly
I fear you want to steal from me

This is totally me. I'll never forget the time I walked all the way back to my car to double-check that I locked it, only to remember on the way there that I'd left my umbrella in the backseat. And then I found two palm-width spiders in the door-lining while retrieving said umbrella. Friggin' Australia, man.
