Razorlight - House lyrics
rate meThere's a full moon over this ancient town<br />
A clock faced the color of the sky<br />
And every street that we walk down<br />
Belongs to the house where my father died<br />
<br />
Where prisoners march in luck step with each other<br />
Reavers test the limit of their reign<br />
Dragging their dead weight from the other<br />
While I claim my place, center stage<br />
<br />
I've been thrown by the thrashing of his going<br />
Chained to his unseen stride<br />
I've walked in luck step without knowing<br />
My indifference, my only disguise<br />
<br />
Now it comes through me like an injection<br />
Anonymous pain throbbing real inside<br />
And every pulse in my body<br />
Belongs to the house where my father died<br />
<br />
Won't catch his spirit in a candle<br />
On or alive in it's guttering glow<br />
And death comes through these streets like a scandal<br />
Bent up and beaten, oh, a bitter body blow<br />
<br />
And in bars and shaded back rooms<br />
Those who can't cope just get high<br />
But every place this drink takes me to<br />
Belongs to the house, where my father died<br />
<br />
And there's a full moon over this ancient town<br />
Head lights numb the banner of the sky<br />
Rain rages the steadings and the open ground<br />
And I'm a child fighting shadows with tears in my eyes<br />
<br />
And the valley cannons and thunder<br />
Trees blow beneath the bruising of the sky<br />
Like centuries shield the lake from my wonder<br />
And I'm as helpless as a child hiding from life<br />
<br />
And the face from my mind is fading<br />
I count the wounds for the very first time<br />
Tonight there's gonna be a reckoning<br />
I'm entering the house where my father died
