This house Called us on the other coast It knew that we'd become a ghost It said as far as it could tell We should come out and stay a spell And it took us in with open arms High above the lights and car alarms Of the carnival that can't be killed This house upon the hill
This house Sends me to the streets below To go and play another show But it loves it when we come home fine To drink another bottle of wine And it makes our bed upon the porch Under starlight's silver torch And it stays up when I can't sleep Cause it knows I've got a plan to keep
This house Is going to take the fall for me While I walk away free While I walk away free While I walk away free
This house Has seen it all done before Had a hundred people through its door And it knows we're not getting young But it wants our song to be sung And it's sad that we've got to go Though I told it we'll be back I know And I hope it will be standing still This house upon the hill
