Hey! Housebrick

It was said that summer stopped when it hadn't even started

Rain clouds above my head revealed more once they had parted

Small things had kind of started correlating

Like I'd fall up more curbs the less I tied my laces

It's familiar, familiar, the shop front signs and their

Interiors, interiors, the tide brought a bottle so

Mysterious, mysterious, the note enclosed asked

Was I sitting on my hands?

Mark makers make marks on the world

Hey! Housebrick are you sitting in a building

Are you rested in a hand?

Are you heading for a windscreen?

Hey! Housebrick are you sitting in a building

Are you rested in a hand?

Are you heading for a windscreen now?

It seemed the autumn days were struggling in a vice

Our lazy afternoons all pressed up against the night

Some small things had kind of started making sense

I'd get more letters through the door the less I paid the rent

And when the rent is due, the rent is due, the pounds and the pennies find

More interesting things to do, the wind brought a treasure map

Whose directions I followed through

But when I dug the ground I found the bottom of a hole

Mark makers make marks on the world

Hey! Housebrick are you sitting in a building

Are you rested in a hand?

Are you heading for a windscreen?

Hey! Housebrick are you sitting in a building

Are you rested in a hand?

Are you heading for a windscreen now?

You were meant to keep us safe

And sit tall upon the landscape

But you fly on the wings of fate

Hey! Housebrick are you sitting in a building

Are you rested in a hand?

Are you heading for a windscreen?

Hey! Housebrick are you sitting in a building

Are you rested in a hand?

Are you heading for a windscreen now?

(Hey hey housebrick!)
