Love the House You're In

I regretfully withdraw my offer to try to improve myself I sincerely believe the results would be disaster I held the chisel against my cheekbone And I beheld the face of my true master You've gotta love the house you're in You've gotta love the house you're in Sat out on the balcony doing blow And playing chess by myself There is a psuedo-intellectual in me oh but oh luckily there's something else A frog with it's tongue stuck to the inside of my chest A crow that keeps banging up against the glass A well intentioned demon somewhere within Maybe that last ones not so bad maybe that last ones' s the main attraction You've gotta love the house you're in You've gotta love the house you're in Cause someone keeps writing your name all over the walls Someone keeps writing your name all over the walls I would like to be more for you than just a ghost lighting up in the courtyard Sometimes I am an actual man standing perfectly still in the dark Starless future, folklore past So leave the shade halfway open Leave the shade halfway drawn I'm writing a line for the stars Happiness is waiting to fall
