The House Always Wins by Clientele
The House Always Wins lyrics
so wake up
& smell the scent on your skin
the night breathes
easily, the subway�s wind
carries me back, brings me all the way back in
here�s a car that we can drive
come on get in
through the night that rolls in every room
you�re too beautiful to love these plastic things my
friend
lord I�ll be coming round so soon
& I see the sad young friend has gone away
with his promises his speeches & his poems
but the fields have drifted in to fill his space
like ghosts
like ghosts
here�s a car that we can drive come on get in
through the night that rolls in every room
you�re too beautiful to love these plastic things my
friend
lord I�ll be coming round so soon
lord
& I remember afternoons inside your mother�s house
us skipping school & getting high inside
but I can�t even think about it anymore I can�t fit
my words inside
the afternoons were grey & overwhelming as they fell
to fused lamps & September�s clarity
the way back home is lost to us forever in the night
& the leaves
the falling leaves
here�s a car that we can drive come on get in
through the night that rolls in every room
you�re too beautiful to love these plastic things my
friend
lord I�ll be coming round so soon
lord
