The Afghan Whigs - House Of I Lyrics

The Afghan Whigs Lyrics

"House Of I"

When the silence meets the sound
Beckoning from underground
You're invited, there's no waiting
Pick a piece up off the floor
What is lost is never found
When your lover comes around
I'm on fire, baby, please be, too
Burn your house down just for you

Falling fast
Call me capable at last
I'm awake, an animal
At the wrong end of your past
Call the car and call the shot
Call me everything you're not
Time to see and say your witchy ways
And stitched-up days
You'll answer to the maw

Move along in your song
It's a lie, and I don't believe you
Anyone on the run who ain't getting it done
Will beg you for a ride
Watch the doggy take the bone
Till another comes along
Singing
