"The House Song" lyrics

This house goes on sale every Wednesday morning
Taken off the market in the afternoon
You can buy a piece of it if you want to
It's been good for me, it been good for you

Take the grand tour now, the fires are burning
Is that your reflection on the wall?
I can show you this room and some others
If you've come to see the house at all

Careful up the stairs, a few are missing
He never found the time make repairs
The first step is the hardest one to master
The last one I'm not really sure is there

Second floor, the lady slept in waiting
Past the lantern, tiptoe in its glance
And in this room, the dark brown arms of shadows
This room is the hardest one to pass

How much will you pay to live in the attic?
The shavings of your mind are the only rent
If you feel now that you shouldn't
The thoughts you've left there will be spent

This house goes sale every Wednesday morning
And it's taken off the market in the afternoon
You can buy a piece of it if you want to
It's been good for me if it's been good for you
