Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It's so cold in this house
Open mouth swallowing us
The children staying home from school
Will not stop crying
[Verse 2]
And I know that you're busy too
I know that you care
You got your finger on the pulse
You got your eyes everywhere
And it hurts all the time
When you don't return my calls
And you haven't got the time
To remember how it was
[Chorus]
It's so cold in this house
It's so cold in this house
[Verse 3]
I can't eat, I can't sleep
I can't sleep, I can't dream
And aversion to light
Got a fear of the ocean
[Chorus]
Like drinking poison, like eating glass
Like drinking poison, like eating glass
Like drinking poison, like eating glass
Like drinking poison, like eating–
[Chorus]
It's so cold in this house
It's so cold in this house
It's so cold in this house
It's so cold in this bed
[Chorus]
Like drinking poison, like eating glass
Like drinking poison, like eating glass
Like drinking poison, like eating glass
Like drinking poison, like eating
[Bridge]
Got, got, got, got, got the story
[Verse 4]
Ow, ow, it was, we've got crosses on our eyes
Been walking into the walls again
We've got crosses on our eyes
Been walking into the furniture
We've got crosses on our eyes
For richer, for poorer, for better, for worse
We've got crosses on our eyes
We've been walking into the furniture
