Come On Up to the House Songtext
von Tom Waits

Well, the moon is broken, and the sky is cracked.
Come on up to the house.
The only things that you can see is all that you lack.
Come on up to the house.

All your cryin′ don't do no good.
Come on up to the house.
Come down off the cross, we can use the wood.
You gotta come on up to the house.

Come on up to the house.
Come on up to the house.
The world is not my home, I′m just a passin' through.
You got to come on up to the house.

There's no light in the tunnel, no irons in the fire.
Come on up to the house.
And your singin′ lead soprano in a junkman′s choir.
You got to come on up to the house.


Doesn't life seem nasty, brutish, and short.
Come on up to the house.
The seas are stormy, and you can′t find no port.
Gotta come on up to the house, yeah.

You gotta come on up to the house.
Come on up to the house.
The world is not my home, I'm just a passin′ through.
You got to come on up to the house, yeah.

You gotta come on up to the house.
Come on up to the house.
The world is not my home, I'm just a passin′ through.
You got to come on up to the house.

There's nothin' in the world that you can do.
You gotta come on up to the house.
And you′ve been whipped by the forces that are inside you.
Gotta come on up to the house.

Well, you′re high on top of your mountain of woe.
Gotta come on up to the house.
Well, you know you should surrender, but you can't let it go.
You gotta come on up to the house.


Gotta come on up to the house.
Gotta come on up to the house.
The world is not my home, I′m just a passin' through.
You gotta come on up to the house.

Gotta come on up to the house.
You gotta come on up to the house.
(Oh yeah!)
