I don't think I'm gonna open the door right now
'cause I'm not really down with having visitors.
You can ring all you want, but I won't find out
what you've been ringing 'bout.
No solicitors.
It's not that it's just what I do
to be rude to Jehova's Witnesses,
but that don't mean you should be thinking
I'm giving a damn about what your business is.
I don't think i'm gonna open the door right now.
I've heard of shut-ins,
heard of hermits,
heard of basement dwellers.
With bodies full of stress,
and heads full of best sellers.
Their room's their fucking head,
their desk their fucking brain.
There aint too many they trust
to look inside and leave them sane.
So if you need me, i'll be in my room
with the lights off, i'll be treating it like a tomb
where i can play dead to the world for a day or two.
No "I'll be seeing you"s are due to you.
I don't think I'm gonna open the door right now
'cause I'm not really down with having visitors.
You can ring all you want, but I won't find out
what you've been ringing 'bout.
No solicitors.
It's not that it's just what I do
to be rude to Jehova's Witnesses,
but that don't mean you should be thinking
I'm giving a damn about what your business is.
I don't think i'm gonna open the door right now.
It says "welcome" on the floor mat. Ignore that.
Host is a 4 letter word, and I'm sure that
anybody coming on my porch thinks they're important,
but I'm gonna stay indoors and avoid that.
Even took the liberty to turn off my phone.
No calls, no texts, 'cause I want to be alone.
If its that damn urgent, this random person
better put the work in
to leave a memorandum at the tone
or they're not getting called back.
I called that, when I called into work and I caught flack.
But i think I earned a makeshift vacation.
Mad-Catz, Naughty Dogs, old PlayStations,
Spyro, Sly Fox, Crash Team Racing,
lights off, sittin' in my skivvies in the basement.
With two signs put up on the door to observe.
"Beware of the Dog" and "Do Not Disturb".
I don't think I'm gonna open the door right now
'cause I'm not really down with having visitors.
You can ring all you want, but I won't find out
what you've been ringing 'bout.
No Solicitors.
It's not that it's just what I do
to be rude to Jehova's Witnesses,
but that don't mean you should be thinking
I'm giving a damn about what your business is.
I don't think i'm gonna open the door right now.
A lot of ways you can empty out your head,
some escape, some vent, some beg.
I ain't got words, I ain't got time.
So go about your damn day,
and let me stick to mine.
So if you need me, I'll be in my room
with the lights off, I'll be treating it like a tomb
where I can play dead to the world for a day or two.
I don't think I'm gonna open the door right now
'cause I'm not really down with having visitors.
You can ring all you want, but I won't find out
what you've been ringing 'bout.
No solicitors.
It's not that it's just what I do

I don't think i'm gonna open the door right now.

Nearly a decade late to the Taz party, but I’m so glad to be aware of it now! I don’t know what elixir Griffin put into the album but I would like to drink a gallon of it. katiegreene137
Bouncy, jangly power pop with a slash of acidic shadow, as the very best twee always has. From Boston, they met at band camp (not Bandcamp). Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 2, 2019
