Lyrics

The House of Flesh on Fire
think of ways to avoid the crowd keep it cool and underground and daffodils the child that cried all the things you try to hide like the women you want to have hold you how you get nervous and act like a fool and the house of flesh is on fire I think of her like water I desire think of things that bring you down your minds fears drag you to the ground think what?s been stolen from me and all the things I grieve to see like100% guarantees days in grubby old jeans think of mornings with scabs on your knees think of desires fires not meant to be think of bad dreams deja vu ocean and sand and the cold brew think of the summer time and all the people in the beer line think of cops and buying new shoes and ways to bend broken rules and detectives of unsolved crimes the way to make the most of your dimes and think of people old and fat and things you do to be where it?s at and think of michigan shoveling snow and the power of being in the cold and thinking what you can do to win bringing it all back home bob dylan think of traveling and hotel bed sheets think of neighbors and wives that look beat think of the good the bad and not so well think of the paintings of norman rockwell think of the stained teeth and the coffee pot and the sewer and things that rot (a word from our sponsor) so what?s better east or west and passion of loves sweet caress and my family and leaf on the tree and my soul mate who will she be and think of the clerk handing you change and the wicked and ruthless bridesmaids and the rebellion of youth think what your mother thinks is cooth think of those nights when you dance and think how she looks without no pants and think of slam dancing and punk rock shows i?m lonely tonight and good to go think of the food you like and what you did last night and her smoke tired eyes think of your girlfriend when she cries think of how it will eventually end like every grain of sand so what?s the meaning of life and all the things you can do with a knife and all the things you are wanting and long black stockings think of janes addiction and nothings shocking.
