Verse 1

My life is a house. you crawl through the window,

slip across the floor, and into the reception room.

You enter the place of endless persuasion,

like a knock on the door when there`s ten or more things to do.

Chorus 1

Eflat Aflat Gm7 Bflat Eflat

Who was that calling? You, my companion,

Eflat Aflat Gm7 Eflat Aflat G7

run to the water on a burning beach,

Aflatmaj7/ flat

and it brings me relief.

Verse 2

Pass through the walls to find my intentions, circle round

in a strange hypnotic state. I look into space, there is no connection,

a million points of light and a conversation i cant face,

Chorus 2

Eflat Aflat Gm7 Bflat Eflat

Cast me off one day. to lose my inhibitions

Aflat Gm7 Eflat Aflat G7

sit like a lap-dog on a matron`s knee.

Aflatmaj7/C Eflat Aflat

Wear the nails on your feet.

Verse 3

I woke up the house, stumbled in sideways, the lights went on,

and everybody screamed surprise. The savage review, it left me gasping

but it warms my heart to see that you can do it too.

Chorus 3

Aflat Gm7 Bflat/6 Bflat

Your skin is like water on a burning beach,

Eflat Aflat Gm7

and it brings me relief,
