The House That Heaven Built

When the soul of the city was laid to rest
And the nights forgotten and left for dead
O-o-o oh o-o-o oh

I happened on a house built of living light
Where everything evil disappears and dies
O-o-o oh o-o-o oh

When they love you, and they will
Tell 'em all they're loving my shadow
And if they try to slow you down
Tell 'em all to go to hell

When they love you, and they will
Tell 'em all they're loving my shadow
And if they try to slow you down
Tell 'em all to go to hell

I settled in slowly to this
House that you call home
To blood and breath, fear, flesh and bone
O-o-o oh o-o-o oh

Blush of our bodies in the heat of the night
All day the day after, reddened the skies
O-o-o oh o-o-o oh

When they love you, and they will
Tell 'em all they're loving my shadow
And if they try to slow you down
Tell 'em all to go to hell

When they love you, and they will
Tell 'em all they're loving my shadow
And if they try to slow you down
Tell 'em all to go to hell

It's a lifeless life with no
Fixed address to give
But you're not mine to die for
Anymore so I must live o-o-o oh
O-o-o oh

Born of a bottle, from heaven's hand
And now you know and here I am here I am
O-o-o oh

When they love you, and they will
Tell 'em all they're loving my shadow
And if they try to slow you down
Tell 'em all to go to hell

When they love me, and they will
Tell 'em all they're loving your shadow
And if they try to slow me down
I'll tell 'em all to go to hell
