| [00:14.27] |
This house |
| [00:16.74] |
Called us on the other coast |
| [00:19.99] |
It knew that we'd become a ghost |
| [00:23.46] |
It said as far as it could tell |
| [00:26.82] |
We should come out and stay a spell |
| [00:30.38] |
And it took us in with open arms |
| [00:33.84] |
High above the lights and car alarms |
| [00:37.40] |
Of the carnival that can't be killed |
| [00:40.99] |
This house upon the hill |
| [00:50.00] |
|
| [00:50.21] |
This house |
| [00:51.98] |
Sends me to the streets below |
| [00:55.15] |
To go and play another show |
| [00:58.62] |
But it loves it when we come home fine |
| [01:02.19] |
To drink another bottle of wine |
| [01:05.55] |
And it makes our bed upon the porch |
| [01:09.26] |
Under starlight's silver torch |
| [01:12.66] |
And it stays up when I can't sleep |
| [01:16.32] |
Cause it knows I've got a plan to keep |
| [01:21.44] |
|
| [01:21.64] |
This house |
| [01:24.07] |
Is going to take the fall for me |
| [01:27.63] |
While I walk away free |
| [01:30.83] |
While I walk away free |
| [01:34.33] |
While I walk away free |
| [01:57.50] |
|
| [01:57.70] |
This house |
| [01:58.91] |
Has seen it all done before |
| [02:02.17] |
Had a hundred people through its door |
| [02:05.58] |
And it knows we're not getting young |
| [02:09.35] |
But it wants our song to be sung |
| [02:12.43] |
And it's sad that we've got to go |
| [02:16.34] |
Though I told it we'll be back I know |
| [02:19.95] |
And I hope it will be standing still |
| [02:23.19] |
This house upon the hill |
| [02:31.00] |
