In my neighborhood, so familiar No one can find me The street is long, sometimes I'm lost It's gravel, now hot coals To run, to run to the door of my house To the door of my house to turn the key My house has teeth, it likes to stare It grins and it sees I'm afraid It knows too much about me I need to rest to catch my breath You blister my paint with the things you ain't You peel my siding Everybody is a house Everybody needs a good hat Everybody needs the soul of a good pair of shoes Gimmie a roof, a hat on my head Don't need a floor, my soul's got retreads A house without windows is the whole wide world
