safe as houses - mark lenover lyrics

Loading...

there are weights on my wrists and they cling limb to lock
in a delicate, yet devastatingly carnal pile*up
as a comforting light spins and sketches in place
and a strangely brutal silence sets to pulling me away

you’re as safe as houses
it’s alright now
you’re as safe as houses
so don’t trouble yourself

the neighbourhood turns up and they grieve for a while
but only as it suits them, from a comfortable distance
for the denigrating, barrel*chested terror at my back
survived only by its failures, and the son it never had

the trigger pulled me gently by the finger tip
i shot a rat with an elephant gun
don’t be surprised if there isn’t much left of it

but you’ll be happy again, once the transparency lifts
when the spectres wilt before the fists of the neighbourhood kids
when you sleep they won’t remember what i did

you’ll be as safe as houses
for a good, long while
you’ll be as safe as houses
so don’t trouble yourself
tusks and t**th are made of old piano keys
fatty hands are made of candle wax
ghosts are no more than two holes in scr*ppy sheets
