A House Of Many Rooms |
There may be some things about me |
Things you don’t want to hear |
For the rumors that precede me |
May be very true I fear |
They tell you I will deceive you |
I don’t know how to care |
Though my intentions might be good |
There’s another darker look beware |
When you walk through the door |
Hang on to your senses |
At best you must assume |
It’s a house of many rooms |
Some rooms are filled with pleasure |
Laughter and love and light |
All the things you never see |
I keep under lock and key at night |
When you walk through the door |
Hang on to your senses |
At best you must assume |
It’s a house of many rooms |
If you love me in the light |
Love me in the shadow |
I’m afraid you must assume |
It’s a house of many rooms |
Oh, a house of many rooms |
It’s a house that’s so unstable |
There are those who recommend |
If they’d the strength and they were able |
It ought to be condemned |
I don’t agree but I will warn you |
At best you must assume |
I live in a house of many rooms |
Here I’m in the library |
Trying to understand |
What empowers this behavior |
Degenerates the man |
The same apartment later |
With the bottle half consumed |
I see a house of many rooms |
In the parlor I’m your father |
Who could ask for more |
The bedroom compromise me |
With your best friend from next door |
In the kitchen being honest |
The lounge, a lying tongue |
(I live in a house of many rooms) |
Locked in the bathroom |
Pretending to be young |
Oh, the chapel finds me kneeling |
Praying for my soul |
The painting in the attic |
Can’t prevent me growing old |
Help me live forever, silent as a tomb |
I live in a house of many rooms |
Join me at the dining table |
Join me at the feast |
Join me in the stable |
I’m laying with the beast |
You’re walking in the garden |
Oblivious who’d know? |
(I live in a house of many rooms) |
I’m in the cellar ready to explode |
(I live in a house of many rooms) |
