Japandroids - The House That Heaven Built lyrics

rate me

When the soul of the city

Was laid to rest

And the nights forgotten

And left for dead

It happened at a house

Built of living light

Where everything evil

Disappears and dies

[Hook:] X2

When they love you and they will (and they will!)

Tell them all they're loving my shadow

And if they try to slow you down (slow you down!)

Tell them all to go to hell

I settled in slowly

To this house which is a home

To blood and breath

Fair flesh and bone

Rush of our bodies

In the heat of the night

All day, the day after

Bled in the skies

[Hook:] X2

When they love you and they will (and they will!)

Tell them all they're loving my shadow

And if they try to slow you down (slow you down!)

Tell them all to go to hell

It's a lifeless life

With no fixed address to give

But you're not mine to die for anymore

So I must live

Born of a bottle

From Edmonton

And now you know

And here I am

[Hook:] X4

When they love you and they will (and they will!)

Tell them all they're loving my shadow

And if they try to slow you down (slow you down!)

Tell them all to go to hell
