Straw House

lyrics

Straw House (P McMahon)
I see you put your thoughts on paper
Trying to write your fears away
If you don't move no one will see your feet of clay

Watching you drown your brain in whisky
Trying to keep the truth at bay
Hoping if you don't look the world will go away

The sand flows only one way
The North wind blows strong and someday
This house of straw shall tumble down

Welcome to the real world
There's a sign on the door
Beware of the webs they spin
In the house of straw

Didn't you know the sun was shining?
Didn't you know the sky was blue?
Didn't you ever wonder what went wrong with you?

You try so hard to get there
But your road leads down to nowhere
This house of straw shall tumble down

Chorus

Is it the wind that fills the ocean?
Is it the fire that makes you freeze?
Isn't it sad that there's no cure for your disease?

The world turns oh so slowly
The moon burns lost & lonely
This house of straw shall tumble down

Tear down the walls of sorrow
A faint heart knows no tomorrow
This house of straw shall tumble down

Chorus
