Lyrics

This house is and ancient tomb
Be warned
Be warned
Be warned
Born in 1974
With the blood stains
On the door

This house is a monument
You see
You see
You see
Erect in 1983
In memory of
What you've done to me

This house is a freight train
And it's mine
And it's mine
And it's mine
Back in 1989
They found my body
On the morris–essex line

A cord, accord
A car, a call
The hospital said it would
Gladly repay it all
I'm born, i'm bored
I'm not at all
This body needs an overhaul

The blast from the cannon
Was more than
They could take
Ever since that summer
They've been something
Of a flake
We pray for them at dinner
We pray for them at dawn
We pray that when they
Grow up
That they'll be dead and gone
We pray that they will
Pass us by
But they keep coming on

Wake up i'm coming over

Watch the way the milk
Has curdled in the cradle
There's a rattle underneath
The kitchen table
Were ignoring it as best
As we are able
But the air in there is
Static and unstable

Theres a rapping
At the door
