Swine Houses

as I lay awake

I hear clappin' from inside the walls, so it

must be my mistake

I spend hours trying to lock the doors, but they

always come right in

they want bones hidden in the boards

I could show you

where the safe is still

yours as fast mine

it's all black inside the house, you send

all of your children

take all who are willing

yours as fast mine

it's all black behind, inside, you send

all of your children

take all who are willing

think I might have sent

the wrong copy of my diary

re-connects the dots

from the treasure to the misery if I

live to tell your tale

of a haunted house and jamboree

would i go live

outside again?

if you're still scared of others

then just crawl back in your covers (whoa)

if you still care for others

then you sleep outside your covers (whoa, oh)

if you still hate the shadows

and the headlights from the windows (whoa, whoa oh) yours as fast as mine!

if you still fear the sounds and

all the swine within your houses (whoa, whoa oh)

show me all the tricks you fell for

and tell me what you're going to hell for (whoa, whoa)

yours as fast as mine!

it's all black behind inside!
