Playhouse Lyrics

I had the man, had the ring, we were white picket fenced in

Was the American dream from the outside looking in

I was practicing my smile in the mirror trying to make that house a home

I was putting on the lipstick, slip dress, trying to be his Jackie O

I was giving up my sanity for stability, it was killing me, it was misery

It's fun to play house, painting over troubles and doubts

Riding the highway to hell is an easy way to lose yourself

And if I should die before I wake, I know it'd be the bed I made

It's fun to play house, ain't it fun to play house

Suffocating under the pressure of someone I could never be

Find my way back to the girl trapped inside who was begging to be set free

She would chase the lights on a Friday to cities that she'd never been

Make them dance, second guess, turn their heads like a Marilyn

Now I'll never give my sanity for stability, it was killing me, it was misery

It's fun to play house, painting over troubles and doubts

Riding the highway to hell is an easy way to lose yourself

And if I should die before I wake, I know it'd be the bed I made

It's fun to play house, ain't it fun to play house

It's fun to play house, painting over troubles and doubts

Riding the highway to hell is an easy way to lose yourself

And if I should die before I wake, I know it'd be the bed I made

It's fun to play house, til you can't find your way out
