House of Spirits

I've been laying in this wreck since the dawn of days

And it's been playing with my head in a million different ways

I hardly ever get a minute to my thoughts alone

Before they're clambering on the roof or making something out of bone

Well since they made this their home

It's no longer my own

Now I'm not welcome in this house of spirits anymore, baby

Now I'm not welcome in this house of spirits anymore, baby

There are buzzards in the belfry always aiming for their mark

And countless other unhinged voices in this palace after dark

They took the timber off the roof, and now it's filling up with rain

And whatever burrowed through my head has made its way outside again

Well since they made this their home

It's no longer my own

Now I'm not welcome in this house of spirits anymore, baby

Now I'm not welcome in this house of spirits anymore, baby

That's why I wrote you this letter staring back from the page

Saying I won't stay another minute and I will not be redeemed

And I know that I love you

I love you

I love you

It's just lately it ain't been the same here without you

It's just lately it ain't been the same here without you

Well since they made this their home

It's no longer my own

You can tell from the look in their eyes, oh my love

They won't let me out dead or alive, no my love

I'm going to wait 'til they've gone to ground, oh my love

Then I'll burn this mad house down
