At midnight, the dogs gathered around the house
Around her house (ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh)
Her heart was like a drawer
She only opened when she went out to feed those dogs
And let her memories bathe, in the moonlight for a while (ooh-ooh-ooh)
ย
Those were the dogs owned by the girls who died in that house (ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
Meeting every night, keeping vigil in the place (oh)
Where their people went away
And so she'd wake the rest of her nights in that house
Feeding all the hounds at it's mouth
ย
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
ย
On her first night wandering around the dark (ooh-ooh-ooh)
Of her new house (ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
Solemn as a bride
That's when she first saw them (ooh)
Out the kitchen window, right at 12 o'clock (ooh)
A dozen silent dogs of all different type (ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
ย
She almost was one of the girls
Who died in that house (ooh, ooh, ooh)
So when it was stigmatized
She took it on to start a new life in that house (ooh, ooh, ooh)
Be the token coin in it's mouth (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Maybe with enough time, tending to that ground (ooh-ooh)
She can heal the heart of her house (ooh)
Feeding all the hounds at it's mouth (ooh)
