Come on up to the house

Well, the moon is broken and the sky is cracked. Come on up to the house.

The only things that you can see is all that you lack. Come on up to the house. All your crying don't do no good. Come on up to the house. Come down off the cross, we can use the wood. Come on up to the house. Come on up to the house. Come on up to the house.

The world is not my home - I'm just a passing through. Come on up to the house. There's no light in the tunnel - no irons in the fire. Come on up to the house and your singing lead soprano in a junkman's choir you gotta come on up to the house. Does life seem nasty, brutish and short. Come on up to the house. The seas are stormy and you can't find no port. Come on up to the house.

There's nothing in the world that you can do. You got to come on up to the house.  You've been whipped by the forces that are inside you. Come on up to the house. When you're high on top of your mountain of woe. Come on up to the house. When you know you should surrender but you can't let go you gotta come on up to the house. Come on up to the house.

Come on up to the house. The world is not my home - I'm just a passing through. Come on up to the house.

Tom Waits
