House That Used To Be Lyrics

House That Used To Be lyrics

Do you wanna wind up in a graveyard?
Like a number on a scorecard.
They`re gonna wrap you up in corn silk
They`re gonna cry like you were spilled milk.

You`d better take another Quaalude
And get yourself corkscrewed.
I understand that you got cold feet
But why`d you have to take `em down a side street?

I must be dumber than a spit curl
Ôcause I got hung up on a showgirl
Now I look like I`m a scarecrow
I might as well go on a talk show

CHORUS
And this ain`t home anymore
ItÕs just four walls and a floor
Home is where you get the goods for free
This is just the house that used to be
Yeah the house that used to be

You`re gonna wind up in a graveyard
Like another girl who co-starred
They`re gonna wrap you up in corn silks
They`re gonna cry like you were spilled milk

And in the far off wail of freight trains
And in the lonely howl of Great Danes
I hear the girl I lost forever
I hear the girl I lost forever

CHORUS
