A closet (especially in North American usage) is a small and enclosed space, a cabinet, or a cupboard in a house or building used for general storage or hanging clothes. A closet for food storage is usually referred to as a pantry. A closet, through French from Latin clausum, "closed" began life in the 17th century as a small private room, often behind a bedroom, to which a man or woman could retire, for privacy, reading, or enjoyment of personal works of art: for this usage, see Cabinet (room).
Modern closets can be built into the walls of the house during construction so that they take up no apparent space in the bedroom, or they can be a large, free-standing piece of furniture designed for clothing storage, in which case they are often called a wardrobe or armoire. Closets are often built under stairs, thereby using awkward space that would otherwise go unused.
In current British usage, a "wardrobe" can also be built-in, and the word "cupboard" can be used to refer to a closet. In Elizabethan and Middle English, closet referred to a larger room in which a person could sit and read in private, but now refers to a small room in general. In Indian usage, a closet often refers to a toilet. This probably originated from the word water closet, which refers to a flush toilet.
Either hell has frozen over
or you're a zombie of a girl I used to know.
Someone should have told her
that forever didn't end four years ago.
Go tell me what this is about.
I guess I know
LA has figured you out
It's the second time around.
You need a walk in closet for all your skeletons
Say it's over, get in closer,
clean the scene of your finger prints.
All you touch you destroy.
No longer I'm your baby boy
so find another
and lose my number.
You have this reputation
of taking everyone around you down in flames.
I'm opening auditions
for another girl to help forget your name.
Name reasons you're back in this town
I guess I know
LA has figured you out
It's the second time around.
You need a walk in closet for all your skeletons
say it's over, get in closer,
clean the scene of your finger prints.
All you touch you destroy.
No longer I'm your baby boy
so find another
and lose my number.
You can hide all you want but it's plain to see
that there's a hand grenade where your heart should be
so take the next train out.
Don't you dare return.
I hope your train derails and you crash and burn.
A walk in closet for all your skeletons
say it's over, get in closer,
clean the scene of your finger prints.
All you touch you destroy.
No longer I'm your baby boy
so find another
