Lyrics House of Yesterday - Ariel Pink

House of Yesterday

Look at the white man preparing for war
Takes one look at his wife one last time
Look at the white man declaring the war
Over and out like a charlie no more
Look at the white man he’s fashioned a list
Look at the poor boy, he’s dead from his own war
And enjoy the silence for the last twenty four
And no one belongs here, no one belongs, doesn’t belong here
They put me in a coffin and they buried me in a trench
I’m dying like a maggot, can you smell the stench?
They put my love life on life support
They threw me in the dungeon like I never was born
And no one belongs here
And no one belongs here
No one belongs here
Something to save
An image you’re painting in a house of yesterday (house of yesterday)
Rip out the pages and set them ablaze
As you lay down in your grave (lay down in your grave)
Something to save
A vanishing grave yard in a house of yesterday (house of yesterday)
Rip out the pages and set them ablaze
As you lay down in your grave (lay down in your grave)
Yesterday
Yesterday
Yesterday
Something to save
An image you’re painting in a house of yesterday (house of yesterday)
Brush it aside
There’s always tomorrow as you lay down in your grave (lay down in your grave)
Something to save
An image you’re painting in a house of yesterday (house of yesterday)
Rip out the pages and set them ablaze
As you lay down in your grave (lay down in your grave)
