In the House of Numbers Songtext
von Brett Anderson

Windows broken from inside
It breaks the silence in me
Her tyres scraping in the drive
Behind the palace of the trees
Come taste the orange blossom
Come now shake the orange blossom

Paper cuts and ancient bones and pagan imagery
Behind her palaces of stone
Things are not the way they seem
Come taste the orange blossom
Come now shake the orange blossom

A diamond is to buy her
A heart is to adore her
A club to paralyse her
A spade is to destroy her
There′s no way inside, no way inside, no way inside
But you'll find me


A heraldry of broken names
A tattered ancestry
Assassins sitting in their frames
Who brought the family to it′s knees
It defines her life

A diamond is to love her
A heart is to adore her
A club is just to club her
A spade is to destroy her
There's no way inside, no way inside, no way inside
But you'll find me, you′ll find me, you′ll find me
You'll find me
In the house of numbers

Windows broken from inside
They break the silence in me
Her tyres scraping in the drive
Behind the palace of the trees
It defines her life

There′s no way inside, no way inside, no way inside
But you'll find me, you′ll find me
You'll find me, you′ll find me
You'll find me (me), you'll find me
In the house of numbers
