Joe Jackson - My House lyrics

rate me

I'm moving my car forward a foot at a time

Another red light another warning sign

Is that rain on the windshield

Wonder if it's raining on the Jersey side

Tapping my fingers to the radio

But I don't hear a thing

Watching the hookers move in and out of the light

One of these days one of these days . . .

One of these days

I'm gonna smash somebody's car

And smash the copper's face

As they take me away . . .

But I gotta go home now

(don't wanna go to my house)

Only forty minutes to the Jersey side

Me and Suzy used to read the news and stay up all night

We used to see a lot of people then we just got tired

And gave birth to a perfect little alibi

I take a sip of diet soda and loosen my tie

Another red light another warning sign

Hey that Puerto Rican hooker must be six feet tall

One of these days one of these days . . .

One of these days

I'm gonna turn the car around

And keep on going

'Til I lose track of time . . .

But I gotta go home now

(don't wanna go to my house)

Thirty five minutes to the Jersey side

Another red light another warning sign

One of these days one of these days
