Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I prayed to the stars for a love
As deep as it was free
Then you came along and opened up
Your sanctuary to me
Walking through your rooms safe in your arms
But you don’t know the shadow in my heart
[Refrain]
Take a walk through your house
A place to start again
This could have been heaven
And I let the Devil in
Take a walk through your house
A place to start again
This could have been heaven
And I let the Devil in
[Verse 2]
Underneath the carpet (Take a walk through your house)
Buried in a kiss (A place to start again)
I cannot hide it (This could have been heaven)
How much longer must I twist? (But I let the Devil in)
Is it nearly over? (Take a walk through your house)
Are we near the end? (A place to start again)
Only you can tell me (This could have been heaven)
How much longer must I twist in the wind? (But I let the Devil in)
[Chorus]
In your house
I started a fire in your house, I started a fire
In your house
I started a fire in your house, I started a fire
In your house
I started a fire in your house, I started a fire
In your house
I started a fire in your house, I started a fire
[Verse 3]
After all of the words have been spoken
Will these four walls remain?
But the fear that grips me as we speak
Is that we’ll never be the same
[Verse 4]
Smoke in the bedroom (Take a walk through your house)
Underneath the door (A place to start again)
The heat is rising (This could have been heaven)
I can’t breathe in the temperature (But I let the Devil in)
Is it nearly over? (Take a walk through your house)
Are we near the end? (A place to start again)
Only you can tell me
How much longer must I twist in the wind?
[Chorus]
In your house
I started a fire in your house, I started a fire
In your house
I started a fire in your house, I started a fire
In your house
I started a fire in your house, I started a fire
In your house
I started a fire in your house, I started a fire
[Bridge]
Lomshika shika
Wendaba
Wawushisa umuzi wami
Lomshika shika
Wendaba
Wawushisa umuzi wami
(Awubheke!)
Lomshika shika
Wendaba
Wawushisa umuzi wami
Lomshika shika
Wendaba
Wawushisa umuzi wami
(Awubheke!)
(In your house)
(In your house)
You don’t know the shadow in my heart
(In your house)
[Chorus]
In your house
I started a fire in your house, I started a fire
In your house
I started a fire in your house, I started a fire
In your house
I started a fire in your house, I started a fire
In your house
I started a fire in your house, I started a fire
[Outro]
What burns in the fire we’ll find again in the ashes
What burns in the fire we’ll find again in the ashes
What burns in the fire we’ll find again in the ashes
What burns in the fire we’ll find again in the ashes
[Instrumental]
(In your house)
(In your house)
(In your house)
[Instrumental]
(In your house)
(In your house)
(In your house)
