"Yellow House" lyrics

There's monster under every bed
And a wooden spoon for every lie
Though an honest word is seldom said
In a big yellow house
On a mountainside

There's a woman left alone too much
And a man who never learned to cry
Oh and love has never been enough
In a big yellow house
On a mountainside
In a big yellow house
On a mountainside

And it's true that you grow up a little faster
In a partially unnatural disaster
In a big yellow house
On a mountainside

There's a visitor of ill intent
And a little girl he terrifies
There's a poverty of innocence
In a big yellow house
On a mountainside
In a big yellow house
On a mountainside

There's a tractor running in the yard
And a quiet boy alone nearby
You see getting hurt is never hard
In a big yellow house
On a mountainside
In a big yellow house
On a mountainside
In a big yellow house
On a mountainside
In a big yellow house
On a mountainside

And it's true that you grow up a little faster
In a partially unnatural disaster
In a big yellow house
In a big yellow house
In a big yellow house
On a mountainside
