Music by elton john<br>Lyrics by bernie taupin<br>Released as a uk b-side in 1978<br><br>This house that I live in has no reason<br>This house that I sleep in has no purpose<br>It has a bed and a few old chairs<br>Three flights up, two flights of stairs<br>But it has no reason<br><br>Then someone shot through the tyre swing<br>The dogs barked and bayed in the winter and spring<br>And the ivy that hung now sadly clings<br>To a dying season<br><br>And I cry at night when the lights go out<br>And the green eyes fuse and the full moon shouts<br>From road maps and red lines to lipstick lies<br>And when the lights go out it's tought to survive<br><br>This man holds a hand that shows a tremble<br>This man that I live in bears his faults<br>He has a heart and a well worn soul<br>Ten years a slave to rock and roll<br>But he has to tremble<br><br>For the yellow grass on the sun burnt lawn<br>Sleeps in her seeds from the sunset to dawn<br>And just like your love that's come and gone<br>It goes on breathing
