Verse 1
My life is a house. you crawl through the window,
slip across the floor, and into the reception room.
You enter the place of endless persuasion,
like a knock on the door when there`s ten or more things to do.

Who was that calling? You, my companion,
Eflat Aflat Gm7 Eflat Aflat G7
run to the water on a burning beach,

and it brings me relief.

Pass through the walls to find my intentions, circle round
in a strange hypnotic state. I look into space, there is no connection,
a million points of light and a conversation i cant face,
Chorus 2
Eflat Aflat Gm7 Bflat Eflat
Cast me off one day. to lose my inhibitions
Aflat Gm7 Eflat Aflat G7
sit like a lap-dog on a matron`s knee.

Wear the nails on your feet.

I woke up the house, stumbled in sideways, the lights went on,
and everybody screamed surprise. The savage review, it left me gasping
but it warms my heart to see that you can do it too.
