Blackie The Rodeo Kings House Of Sin Lyrics

House Of Sin Lyrics

(Linden/Powers)







Stand up and take it like a man



You’re spitting out teeth and sinking in the sand



Crawling on your knees through the promised land



Your barbed-wire baby’s got a different plan







When a band of gold is a ring of fire



The price of love gets higher and higher



Her heart’s gone bad like rusted tin



So much sorrow in this house of sin







Tear the front door down and paint it red



You’re bound and chained to an empty bed



You can’t ignore what the preacher said



No rest for the wicked until you’re dead







When a band of gold...







Jezabel lay in Jerusalem’s streets



Her dying kiss was bittersweet



From the painted mouth that swore deceit



The dogs took her hands and the soles of her feet







When a band of gold...
