TOM WAITS lyrics : "Come On Up to the House"

Well the moon is broken
And the sky is cracked
Come on up to the house

The only things that you can see
Is all that you lack
Come on up to the house


All your cryin don't do no good
Come on up to the house

Come down off the cross
We can use the wood
Come on up to the house


Come on up to the house
Come on up to the house

The world is not my home
I'm just a passin thru
Come on up to the house


There's no light in the tunnel
No irons in the fire

Come on up to the house
And your singin lead soprano
In a junkman's choir

You gotta come on up to the house

Does life seem nasty, brutish and short

Come on up to the house
The seas are stormy
And you can't find no port

Come on up to the house
There's nothin in the world


Chorus:

There's nothin in the world

That you can do
You gotta come on up to the house
And you been whipped by the forces

That are inside you
Come on up to the house
Well you're high on top

Of your mountain of woe
Come on up to the house
Well you know you should surrender

But you can't let go
You gotta come on up to the house
