Razorlight - The House lyrics
rate me<BR>
There'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<br>
<BR><BR>
<BR>
