lyrics

You know a man
Who wants to hold on to both of your hands
Who wants to grab you into his hands
and make real sweet love to you.

I’ll tell you
a little riddle you will understand
about the heart-felt broken man
who thinks the whole wide world of you.
He thinks the whole wide world of you.

Oh my house in on fire
My house is coming down.

When he
wrote the riddle he was facing the sun.
Lord, never wanted him to hurt no one.
But god damn what’s a man to do?
Oh honey, what could he do?

Who could it be?
A tall glass or a sip of tea?
A tall tale or a mystery?
A sailor man or a god of the sea?

Oh my house in on fire
My house is coming down.

What it is
Is the quiver of a silvery part.
A harpoon dagger you can see in the dark.
When the moon shines in your house.

Oh no, you never wanted it to be like this.
Like a double-edged bait and switch.
Barbed wire on your lips.
Barbie doll swinging those pretty hips.

Oh my house in on fire
My house is coming down.
