House on Fire

from Terrestrian Hymns by Bateau Ivre

/

lyrics

I'll satisfy all my desires
then jump out of this house on fire
by now this world's turning too fast
and nothing's ever going to last

there is a shadow haunting me
a putrid stench upon the breeze
gas-leaking craters in the ice
a lunatic selling you lies

will the ship go down with me?
will the ship go down with me?
will the ship go down? will she take me down?

there is no thunder in the sky LIES LIES
there are no rivers running dry LIES LIES
there are no forests of dead trees LIES LIES
no fires burning deep beneath LIES LIES

will the ship go down with me?
will the ship go down with me?
will the ship go down? will she take me down?

will you come and drown with me?
will you come and drown with me?
when the ship goes down, will she take us down?
