Safe As Houses

Safe as houses

Built on quicksand

Because I place my trust

In small town dreams

It's common on crooks

I know the strain of day to day

Busy, busy everybody

I've seen the strangest times

It's far from noticed

Busy, busy everybody

I know the strain of day to day

I shook of my world

But stood back in amazement

I saw the greatest of worlds

To be the cheapest attraction

Safe as houses

Built on quicksand

Because I don't compete

For nobody's place

Making any difference

I know the strain of day to day

Busy, busy everybody

If you could join me now

I would not want for anything or anyone

I shook of my world

But stood back in amazement

I saw the greatest of worlds

To be the cheapest attraction

Safe as houses

Built on quicksand

Because I waste my time

In backstreet dealings

Killing often, every time

I know the strain of day to day

Busy, busy everybody

I've seen the cruelest times

It's far from noticed

Busy, busy everybody
