Sat down with a cigarrette and memories
I don't know why it is
But they seem to have turned to dreams
Seems to be that door is so far away from me
Lights have turned oh so grey
Because every face is wearing a lampshade

Wickets and Lampshades is one of the first songs ever written by Kaylub & Haplo. It was originally written when Kaylub was recording Road To No Where. Kaylub loved it so much he asked Haplo to record the song with him and put it on the album. They enjoyed the song at the time and had bigger plans for it but didn't have the equipment to do what they wanted. When Cafe Insomnia was created a

I know where to find you
But there's nothing left to say
Your world is full of wickets & lampshades
Wish that I had the strength to live in the day
But no,
I'm stuck with your wickets & Lampshades

And the masks we wear always grow so thin
Because you wear them
Every time you commit a god awful sin
Yes, and the real demons
crawl beneath our flesh
As we dance a drunk daze in the serpent's mesh
I've walked so many miles
But to no avail
It seems your mental armor
always wears a stronger mail
Ya, so once again my love
Won't you open up your door
Because we have so many boundries
left that we can explore

I know where to find you
But there's nothing left to say
Your world is full of wickets & lampshades
Wish that I had the strength to live in the day
But no,
I'm stuck with your wickets & Lampshades

I know where to find you
But there's nothing left to say
Your world is full of wickets & lampshades
Wish that I had the strength to live in the day
But no,
I'm stuck with your wickets & Lampshades

year and a half later the band re-did the song and Kaylub and Haplo had the equipment to make the tune everything they ever imagined. This time around the duo loved it and felt it was complete. The song is about the feeling you get when your communication with a person is in a deadlock. You feel stuck in a small dark place with no light to guide you. You're...... stuck with that persons Wickets & Lampshades, if you will.
