THIS HOUSE


There's something not safe about this house

Foundation's cracked foundation's cracked

Something not safe about this house

And it's bound to come tumbling down


There's black crows on the roof above this house

With poison beaks they got poison beaks

Black crows on the roof above this house

And it makes for an awful sound


One man paints a ceiling

One sweeps the floor

The banker's window

Is the plunderer's door

There's ghosts in the attic

Screaming all's in vain

Baby's in the backyard

Threatening sugar with rain


This house is all one way windows

And you can't see out no you can't see out

This house is all one way windows

Don't believe me better ask the town


But the town's all crazy come sunset

And they burn it down burn the whole thing down

Yeah, the town goes crazy come sunset

And it's sure enough sinking now


One man paints a ceiling

One sweeps the floor

The banker's angel

Is the plunderer's whore

Ghosts in the attic

Screaming all's in vain

Baby's in the backyard

Threatening sugar with rain


There's something not safe about this house

Foundation's cracked the foundation's cracked

Something not safe about this house

And it's bound to come tumbling down

And it's bound to come tumbling down

And it makes for an awful sound
