House of the Sleeping Beauties

When the rain falls on the asphalt pavements

It floats in gutters of the street

Down the drainpipes underneath this house

We are as quiet as a mouse

After the broken arm things went slow

Since that day I took a little, took a little, took a little time

I went down into a bottomless hole

Took a shovel and dug a little, dug a little, dug a little mine

We are the creatures of the underworld

Beneath the surface of houses and streets, clay and concrete

Shoulder to shoulder we hide in this hole

Light a candle, we need a little, need a little, need a little flame

House of the sleeping beauties

House of the sleeping beauties

Through the kerbstones and concrete

Take a breath, we need a little, need a little, need a little air

Between cables and copper wire

The submarine goes up a little, up a little, up a little higher

House of the sleeping beauties

House of the sleeping beauties

House of the sleeping beauties

House of the sleeping beauties

When the thunder shakes the gutta-percha

The rain falls through the heaven hole

In the drainpipes underneath this house

We are as quiet as a mouse

After the broken arm things went slow

Since that day I took a little, took a little, I took a little time

Shoulder to shoulder we hide in this hole

Light a candle, we need a little, need a little, need a little flame

House of the sleeping beauties

House of the sleeping beauties

House of the sleeping beauties

House of the sleeping beauties

I got out through an open door

If there's time I need a little, need a little, need a little more
