Mark Lanegan - Riot In My House lyrics

rate me

There’s a riot in my house

Chaos is blossoming

Run and hide little mouse

Go on and get yourself together

When burn outs by the score

Strung out in metal cages

See technicolor pour

From every laceration

I realize that I’m slowly coming down with you

Angels fill my room

With what I’ve scant belief in

When death’s metal broom

Comes sweeping through the evening

Get up off the floor

There’s hot smoking radiation

From window to the door

In ultra violent hesitation

I realize that I’m slowly coming down with you

Battle lines appear

Within the broken mirrors

Yet the dogs have no fear

Fighting in the dark grey shadows

Hear the coughing sound

Mama bring my medication

No harmony is found

While performing levitation

I realize that I’m slowly coming down with you

There’s a riot in my house

Chaos is blossoming

Run and hide little mouse

Go on and get yourself together

From window to the door

There’s cold choking strangulation

See technicolor pour

From every amputation

And realize that I’m slowly coming down with you

There’s a riot in my house

Go on and get yourself together

Get yourself together

There’s a riot in my house

Go on and get yourself together

Get yourself together
