This House Lyrics

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

Crows on the roof above this house

And it makes for an awful sound

One man paints a ceiling

One sweeps a 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 'nuff sinking now

One man paints a ceiling

One sweeps a 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, 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
