--E----D----A----E----D
The house caught on fire in the winter
the bosses lay slain
and each of the workers decided
to ten-fold their pay
and they saw in the mirror
the sun had been shot down in flames
and nobody minded the hole in the sky or the rain
-
but it doesnt really matter
when the judgements are said
'cos we all take our chances
to find our romances in some others bed
and you might burn your fingers
hook your best friends rings for those
who'd have you standing naked
then publicly auction the use of a hose
all the children where laughing
their faces in half at the pain
of the girl who loved talking to walls
and jumping at trains
and the words that ring true
in the playground of fools will remain
and nobody minded the hole in the sky or the rain
-
but it doesnt really matter
when the rights have been read
'cos we all take our chances to glance
at the wife in the opposite bed
and I bet Nero and Pilate could easily explain
how policemen and pirates get stoned in glass houses
