The House Song

This house goes on sale every Wednesday morning Taken off the market in the afternoon You can buy a piece of it if you want to It's been good for me if it's been good for you Take the grand tour now, the fires are burning Is that your reflection on the wall? I can show you this room and some others If you've come to see the house at all Careful of the stairs, a few are missing He never found the time to make repairs The first step is the hardest one to master The last one I'm not really sure is there Second floor, the lady slept in waiting Past the lantern, tiptoe in its glance And in this room the dark brown arms of shadows This room is the hardest one to pass How much will you pay to live in the attic? The shavings of your mind are the only rent If you feel now that you shouldn't The thoughts you've left there will be spent This house goes on sale every Wednesday morning And it's taken off the market in the afternoon You can buy a piece of it if you want to It's been good for me if it's been good for you
