Adorable – This House Is Rotten

I’m standing on the path to a light that I call my home

Built with a hammer and a lover, of hope and stone

With a window that can sing

And a door that cannot shut shut out everything

And a bath that is watching our love just drain away

(That’s what they say)

This house is rotten, it’s rotten to the core

This house I built, with a lover and a saw

This house is rotten, it’s rotten to the core

This house is rotten

Under a roof that has heard one thousand lies

And a bed that has tripped us up too many times

Not everything is worth saying

Not everything is worth saving

Not everything is worth anything

(Or so I’ve heard)

This house is rotten, it’s rotten to the core

This house I built, with a lover and a saw

This house is rotten, it’s rotten to the core

This house is rotten

This house is rotten, it’s rotten to the core

This house is rotten, though I’ve said it all before

This house is rotten, it’s rotten to the core

This house is rotten

I want to knock you down

I want to raise you to the ground

I want to shake you ’round

I want to watch you blazing down

This house is rotten

This house is rotten

This house is rotten

This house is rotten
