Hey Mercedes The House Shook Lyrics

The House Shook Lyrics

safe for now 
i turn around now to turn 
the television drone down down 
cause in the night those same sounds 
amplify in my life 
they spill on the floor and out the front door 
and when i finished the book the house shook. 

hey babe when the walls shake 
we`ll be halfway to the bank 
hey babe when the floors quake 
we`ll be shaking out the take. 

safe for now 
every damn day a hero of mine dies trying to fly 
and they lie where their lovers lie 
like everything`s fine 
so pound on the chest and hope for the best 
and i`ll give you that like 
like we`re off the hook. 

hey babe when the walls shake 
we`ll be halfway to the bank 
hey babe when the floors quake 
we`ll be shaking out the take. 
hey babe are you awake? 

safe for now 
so be sure and save us now 
safe for now 
so be brave and save us now.
