And The House Fell Down

The sun is up and the shades are all pulled down

I'm more paranoid with every little sound

Like the leaf blower blowing the leaves around

And a siren wailing on the other side of town

Oh the TVs on and the colors really hurt my head

If I could think straight I'd wish I was dead

Or curled up naked in my lover's bed

Instead I'm hanging over Hell suspended by a single thread

And I don't recall who said it at this time

That your enemies grow strong on what you leave behind

I built it up and the wolf he came around

He huffed and puffed and the house fell down

With a rolled up note I'm hovering on that line

Three days on a diet of cocaine and wine

And a little weed just to level me sometime

I put the clock in the drawer 'cause I've cancelled out the time

And I don't recall who said it at this time

That your enemies grow strong on what you leave behind

I built it up and the wolf he came around

He huffed and puffed and the house fell down

So don't knock on my door, don't try to call

I'm holed up in this room talking to the wall

When you're high as this you think you know it all

When you're this deep in there's no place else to fall

And I don't recall who said it at this time

That your enemies grow strong on what you leave behind

I built it up and the wolf he came around

He huffed and puffed and the house fell down

And still that saying gets inside my mind

That your enemies grow strong on what you leave behind

I built it up and the wolf he came around

He huffed and puffed and the house fell down
