The House That Dripped Blood

Lyrics

Look beyond the broken bottles
 Past the rotting wooden stairs
 Root out the wine-dark honeyed center
 Not everyone can live like millionaires
 Look through the air-thin walls
 Tear up the floorboards, strip the paint
 Go over every inch of space
 With the patience of a saint
 Grab your hat
 Get your coat
 The cellar door
 Is an open throat
 Look past the kitchen cabinets
 Go through the chest of drawers
 Scrutinize the casements
 Rip the varnish off the doors
 Dig up the laughing photographs
 They're here somewhere or other
 Take what you can carry
 But let me tell you, brother
 Still waters go stagnant
 Bodies bloat
 And the cellar door
 Is an open throat
