House Gone up in Flames |
It’s in the grain of the wood |
It’s in the needle’s rust |
It’s in the eagle’s claw |
It’s in the eyes you trust |
It’s in the jackal’s dreams |
It’s in the sleet and the hail |
It’s in the unmarked box |
That came today in the mail |
It’s in the dead man’s pocket |
It’s in the child’s first sin |
It’s in the Constitution |
Written in very small print |
It’s in Colin Powell’s lies |
It’s in the shaman’s trance |
It’s in the cellar waiting |
And it’s in the best laid plans |
We could cut and run |
And take half the blame |
Don’t stop now |
That’s why we came |
House gone up in flames |
It’s in the National Anthem |
It’s in the scurrying roach |
It’s in the closed partition |
'Tween first class and coach |
It’s in the relentless fever |
It’s in the lonely room |
It’s in the hands of fate |
And it’s in the pharaoh’s tomb |
It’s in the rich man’s dreams |
It’s in the poor man’s hands |
It’s in the body bags |
Along the Rio Grande |
It’s in the evening shade |
It’s on the zealot’s tongue |
It’s in the widow’s tears |
And it’s in the miner’s lungs |
We could cut and run |
And take half the blame |
Don’t stop now |
That’s why we came |
House gone up in flames |
It’s in the moon’s dark spin |
It’s in the cloudless sky |
It was in St. Peter’s denial |
That he’d thrice deny |
It’s in the distant thunder |
It’s in the whispered prayer |
That they won’t find us hidden here |
Beneath the stairs |
So consider yourself lucky |
And watch what you say |
I got what I wanted |
You might get the same |
It’s in the bold print nailed |
To the cathedral door |
It’s in the black cold pressure |
On the ocean floor |
We could cut and run |
And take half the blame |
Don’t stop now |
That’s why we came |
House gone up in flames |
