It's always good to see you
In my house amid the thickets
Ghost-like in the twilight
Sunset, chrysanthemum tryst
Candles burning at both ends
Even though I hung my ribs
Then I dream about a black girl named Sally
She rejoined the world when she left crack alley
She said not a thing so she won't go back out
I know that she knows what it's all about
I live for those words
I live for those words
Oh, oh, oh yeah
Come lie down and rest
My house amid the thickets
Oh, but you're looking breaking waves
You know I'm just thinking of you
Then she starts going back out to bars
Before you know it, she wrecks all her cars
How does she stay so beautiful?
And why am I such a goddamn fool?
I guess because I'm a man
Sucker for sexy firebrands
Mi casa es su casa, baby
Then she burns down my hacienda
And in the next breath says, "You know I sent ya"
No way she can, I don't understand
Why am I such a foolish man?
Sucker for fucked up firebrands
Oh, oh, oh yeah
ย
Come lie down and rest
My house amid the thickets
Oh, but you're looking breaking waves
You know I'm just thinking of you
Shy sad girl by the name of Lisa
Light brown princess with Aztec features
She hugs me then turns to talk to older friends
While my soul is burning at both ends
Black hair, black veil over melancholy eyes
Reeling under the impact of a life without lies
Her smile breaks the surface like reality TV
In a room full of blank faces, suddenly she's free
You said in your house you don't want it no more
Life's way too painful and way too long
But you know true ending would be all wrong
So you do like me and go on and on and on
ย
Come lie down and rest
My house amid the thickets
Oh, but you're looking breaking waves
You know I'm just thinking of you
Come lie down beside me and pray
Oh, how you'd later do the same
Oh, God, it's just my
Heart devotion mad line
Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa
Come lie down and rest
My house amid the thickets
Come lie down beside me and pray
Oh, how you'd later do the same
My house amid the thickets
My house amid the thickets
My house amid the thickets
My house amid the thickets
