House on Fire / Paint It Black Songtext
von LP

I′m asking yes or no
We'll never know, just lay low
The timing gets to me
I guess we′ll see as days go
Believe in the light
'Cause it's true that we burn with blue light
Something so wild
Shows its teeth and its worst when it bites

′Cause when you come home at night
I see it in your eyes
You see it in mine just like a bull before the fight
They say only love, only love, only love
Can save us
Oh, baby, I hope it′s just another house on fire


I'm asking, let me know
Oh let me go, just say so
Is there a therapy
To let it bleed away, oh
Just tell me we′re fine
I wish only to be on your side
Surrender our life
To the flame, I hold on to survive

'Cause when you come home at night
I see it in your eyes
You see it in mine just like a bull before the fight
They say only love, only love, only love
Can save us
Oh, baby, I hope it′s just
Another house on fire

Tell me we're fine
I wish only to be on your side
Surrender our life
To the flame, I hold on to survive

′Cause when you come home at night
I see it in your eyes
You see it in mine just like a bull before the fight
They say only love, only love, only love
Can save us
Oh, baby, I hope it's just
Another house on fire


I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colours anymore, I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

I see a line of cars and they're all painted black
With flowers and my love, both never to come back
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
Like a newborn baby, it just happens every day
