about

A tale running, reporting and taking a stand.

lyrics

You know the house burned down / the sailors all done drowned
The writer’s hit their blocks / the mother’s darned their socks

They rode across the sea / and they rode across the lands
My ride it got sold / by the singer of the band

The writings on the wall / the print is just too small
I think it’s time to swim / let’s start it up—begin

Cuz the house burned down / my neighbor sent his hounds
The hunt was off the hook / the papers took a look

They took a lawyer to the bank / the sheriff sent a tank
The bulbs burned in his face / I think they ate some cake
But the house burned down / my god, my mouth went sound
Because the house / it burned down

The house burned down

Playing in the papers / but the papers wouldn’t sell
The papers were legit / but the papers were from Hell

In debt to my knees / my knees became my hands
The hands became eyes / but my eyes were in the sand

I told the police / and I told the Queen and
I wrote a report / to the singer of the band

The house burned down

By the time I got to Vegas / I was chewing’ on the sand
I was tied up in a roost / I was boiling hats with plans

Tuck records into pockets / decide a moral grave
Plaster posters on your heart / and move out from your cave

But, don’t forget the oceans / and don’t forget the waves
Ride in on a horse / and leave in a blaze
