Lyrics

House

Oooh, what do you know (?) back (?)

Mhm, it's the same old, same old broken record over and over again

Oooh, you got some big words ready to explain (?) away

But peel back (?) it's the same old, no matter what you say

'Cause this house is not a house, it's just a couple of sticks

And it's oh oh oh oh, well below zero

Yeah this house is not a house, it's just a couple of sticks

And it's oh oh oh oh, well below zero

Ooooh, you're looking down on your nose, I guess you got it all under control

Well (?) from the very first time they let us into the door

So let's dance, lets dance, 'till we can't feel a thing anymore

Yeah let's dance 'till the (?) fall down to our feet, (?) watch the floor

'Cause this house is not a house, it's just a couple of sticks

And it's oh oh oh oh, well below zero

Yeah this house is not a house, it's just a couple of sticks

And it's oh oh oh oh, well below zero

'Cause this house is not a house, it's just a couple of sticks

And it's oh oh oh oh, well below zero

Yeah this house is not a house, it's just a couple of sticks

And it's oh oh oh oh, well below zero

They keep cuttin' the lights out, and everybody's getting priced out

If it goes up anymore they won't be anywhere where to go

And everybody's always running late

So there ain't no time for debate, hey

But let me borrow (?) so I can keep up in this rat race

And this house is not a house, it's just a couple of sticks

And well oh oh oh oh, well below zero

Yeah this house is not a house, it's just a couple of sticks

And it's oh oh oh oh, well below zero

And it's oh oh oh oh, well below zero

And it's oh oh oh oh, well below zero
