Lyrics
?HOUSE?
(c) (p) 2004, Ira Marlowe/Slow Reveal Music (BMI)
I live in a house
Where the portraits have the eyes cut out
Where the piano plays all by itself
Where the clock strikes when it wants to
I live in a house
Of hidden rooms and secret stairs
And every darkness leads somewhere
and all the eyes just watch you
And you came
On a dare, on a dare
Knocking at my door
But you did not run like all the ones before
You stayed, saying--
I? ain?t going anywhere
Nothing in this world
Nothing in this wicked world
Could move me anywhere
I? ain?t going anywhere
?cause I don?t believe in ghosts
A ghost is just a heart without a home
Now open this door
I live in a house
And when a big orange moon comes out
It lights a room once filled with doubt
Things could ever change here
But you came
On a dare
On a deadly cold and windy night
Lightening flashing in the sky
You stayed, saying--
I? ain?t going anywhere
Nothing in this world
Nothing in this wicked world
Could move me anywhere
I? ain?t going anywhere
See I don?t believe in ghosts
A ghost is just a heart without a home
Now open this door
Open this door
Open this door
