lyrics

She's an artifact
That you wanted to attract
So you smuggled her out
But she's too rare to remain

She holds back
And holds off
And she tells you to do the same
So be careful not to smear
Your fingerprints on her pane

And do not steam
Your breath
On her exhibit case
She'll stand all day
In the shower just to scrub them away

Now, Miss Museumpiece
Can I get some sleep?
With the torture of your voice
Echoing like the creak on the ladder
While I'm trying to believe
That you're lying next to me
But I can hear your windowcrawl
All the sneaking you sneak
Can't make you invisible

When you pressure and slide
Along the spine of her grip
And she reaches down
To show you how to give her some lip

Do not make a mess
Oh, do not forget to be rough
She'll keep her distance
Just to show you she's had enough

Now, Miss Museumpiece
Can I get some sleep?
'Cause the torture of your voice
Is like the cunning creak
Of your footsteps as they darkly sneak
Oh, but darling I can see
You silhouetted by the light in the hall
All the sneaking you sneak
Won't make you invisible
