AmOh, oh, oh, Foh, oh oh oh, Coh F(x2)

I happened on a house

Built of living light

Where everything evil

Disappears and dies

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh (x2)

FWhen they love you, and they will

CTell 'em allAm they'll loGve in my shadFow

FAnd if they try to slow you down

CTell 'em allAm to go to hGell F

I settled in slowly

To this house that you call home

To blood and breath

Fear, flesh and bone

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh (x2)

Rush of our bodies

In the heat of the night

All day the day after

Red in the skies

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh (x2)

When they love you, and they will

Tell 'em all they'll love in my shadow

And if they try to slow you down

Tell 'em all to go to hell

It's a lifeless life

With no fixed address to give

But you're not mine to die for anymore

So I must live

Born of a bottle

From heaven's hand

And now you know

And here I am

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh (x2)

When they love you, and they will

Tell 'em all they'll love in my shadow

And if they try to slow you down

Tell 'em all to go to hell

When they love me, and they will

I'll tell 'em all they'll love in your shadow

And if they try to slow me down

I'll tell 'em all to go to hell
