lyrics

the house is burning down
i should try and put it out
the house is burning down

paintings and wind-chimes
pot plants and coloured jars
a cat sleeping on the letterbox
you've cut me out of your heart


the house is burning down
doors splinter in the haze
the house is burning down

scorched varnish
blackened windows
clay pots cracking on the sill
we bought this stuff
to patch things up
it never, ever will

the house is burning down
i should call somebody
the house is burning down

you'll pull up soon
at the end of a hard day
with your slit eyes
and a heavy frown

baby, i won't hold you
it isn't what
you want
me to do

little footprints
like eyes
in the ashes
