This house is on fire when you're not around
The heating's on max and all the lights are on
The records are spinning round and round
This house is on fire when you're not around
The stairs to the basement have never been used
There's dust on the panes as thick as walls
This house is bound to fall
This house is bound to fall down
And when it comes falling down
I will jump for joy to the sky and back
'Cause this house's been a prison rather than a shelter
Surprisingly stable after all these years
I wouldn't been able I rather drowned in tears
You gave me a hammer, you said, come on
This house is bound to fall
This house is bound to fall down
And when it comes falling down
I will jump for joy to the sky and back
'Cause this house's been a prison rather than a shelter
