Card House

(album: Deer Tick, Vol. 1 - 2017)

If I lose another pound
I'm heading underground
I'm out of place in my own skin
How the pit of my heart
Got its pitiful start
Well, we may always ponder that

Pass the bomb from one to the other
We're in love it's the only bother
Once upon a time we had lightning in a bottle
Now next time you tip the bottle up you'll see it's running dry

Once you put the roof on the top of your card house
I'll make all the walls fall down
You can sail away on the finest timbers
I can run your ship aground

Chills down your spine and a
Mouthful of flies and you
Cannot identify the cause
But everybody knows
You've been too long exposed
To my cellular assaults

Taking turns to scrape the bottom
We're so in love in tainted waters
Once upon a time we had lightning in a bottle
Now next time you tip the bottle up you'll see it's running dry

Once you put the roof on the top of your card house
I'll make all the walls fall down
You can sail away on the finest timbers
I can run your ship aground

Once you put the roof on the top of your card house
I'll make all the walls fall down
You can sail away on the finest timbers
I can run your ship aground

Once you put the roof on the top of your card house
I'll make all the walls fall down
You can sail away on the finest timbers
I can run your ship aground

Once you put the roof on the top of your card house
I'll make all the walls fall down
You can sail away on the finest timbers
I can run your ship aground
