The house caught on fire in the winter
|
the bosses lay slain
|
and each of the workers decided to ten-fold their pay
|
and they saw in the mirror the sun had been shot down in flames
|
and nobody minded the hole in the sky or the rain
|
|
But it doesn't really matter when the judgements are said
|
'cause we all take our chances to find out romance is in some others bed
|
and you might burn your fingers hock your best rings for those
|
who'd have you standing naked then publicly auction the use of a hose
|
|
all the children were laughing their faces in half at the pain
|
of the girl who loved talking to walls and jumping at trains
|
and the words that ring true in the playground of fools will remain
|
and nobody minded the hole in the sky or the rain
|
|
but it doesn't really matter when the rights have been read
|
'cause we all take our chances to glance at the wife in the opposite bed
|
and I bet Nero and Pilate could easily explain
|
how policemen & pirates get stoned in glass houses just finding their way
|
