There may be some things about me
|
Things you don't want to hear
|
For the rumours that precede me
|
May be very true I fear
|
|
They tell you I will deceive you
|
I don't know how to care
|
Though my intentions might be good
|
There's another darker look beware
|
|
When you walk through the door
|
Hang on to your senses
|
At best you must assume
|
It's a house of many rooms
|
|
Some rooms are filled with pleasure
|
Laughter and love and light
|
All the things you never see
|
I keep under lock and key at night
|
|
When you walk through the door
|
Hang on to your senses
|
At best you must assume
|
It's a house of many rooms
|
|
If you love me in the light
|
Love me in the shadow
|
I'm afraid you must assume
|
It's a house of many rooms
|
A house of many rooms
|
|
It's a house that's so unstable
|
There are those who recommend
|
If they'd the strength and they were able
|
It ought to be condemned
|
I don't agree but I will warn you
|
At best you must assume
|
I live in a house of many rooms
|
|
Here I'm in the library
|
Trying to understand
|
What empowers this behaviour
|
Degenerates the man
|
The same apartment later
|
With the bottle half consumed
|
I see a house of many rooms
|
|
In the parlour I'm your father
|
Who could ask for more
|
The bedroom compromise me
|
With your best friend from next door
|
In the kitchen being honest
|
The lounge a lying tongue
|
Locked in the bathroom
|
Pretending to be young
|
|
The chapel finds me kneeling
|
Praying for my soul
|
The painting in the attic
|
Can't prevent me growing old
|
Help me live forever
|
Silent as a tomb
|
I live in a house of many rooms
|
|
Join me at the dining table
|
Join me at the feast
|
Join me in the stable
|
I'm laying with the beast
|
You're walking in the garden
|
Oblivious who'd know?
|
I'm in the cellar ready to explode
|
