The House on Auburn Street |
The house on Auburn Street is burning to the ground |
fire trucks on the lawn and a crowd is gathered round |
an apparition in a small suburban town |
the house on Auburn Street is burning to the ground |
birthdays and barbecues — come on you sleepy head |
he watched the evening news while she put us both to bed |
drowsing in our room, and drifting in the dark |
in the house on Auburn Street waiting for our lives to start |
you were the older one and I never saw you cry |
always the bolder one; |
nothing that you wouldn’t try |
I found you on the roof shooting sparks into your veins |
and staring vacantly across the green suburban plains |
there were rescue missions, ultimatums and promises of love |
they did the best they could, oh but it was never quite enough |
the sparks are flying now like fireworks in July |
the dogs are barking now and the kids are hypnotized |
and I should be crying now, but I’m laughing at the joke |
cause the house on Auburn Street is going up in smoke |
the house on Auburn Street is going up in smoke |
