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

Well come down off the cross we can use the wood

You gotta 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

You gotta 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

Gotta come on up to the house, yeah

You gotta come on up to the house

Come on up to the house

The world is not my home I'm just a passin thru

You gotta come on up to the house,yeah

You gotta come on up to the house

Come on up to the house

The world is not my home I'm just a passin thru

You gotta come on up to the house,yeah

There's nothin in the world that you can do

You gotta come on up to the house

And you've been whipped by the forces that are inside you

Gotta come on up to the house

Well you're high on top of your mountain of woe

Gotta 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,yeah

Gotta come on up to the house

Gotta come on up to the house

The world is not my home I'm just a passin thru

You gotta come on up to the house,yeah

Gotta come on up to the house

You gotta come on up to the house

Oh yeah
