"HOUSE"

I live in a house
  Where the portraits have the eyes cut out
    Where the piano plays all by itself
      Where the clock strikes when it wants to

I live in a house
  Of hidden rooms and secret stairs
    And every darkness leads somewhere
      and all the eyes just watch you

And you came
  On a dare, on a dare
    Knocking at my door
      But you did not run like all the ones before
        You stayed, saying--

I... ain't going anywhere
Nothing in this world
Nothing in this wicked world
Could move me anywhere
I... ain't going anywhere
'cause I don't believe in ghosts
A ghost is just a heart without a home
Now open this door

I live in a house
  And when a big orange moon comes out
    It lights a room once filled with doubt
      Things could ever change here

But you came
  On a dare
    On a deadly cold and windy night
      Lightening flashing in the sky
      You stayed, saying--

I... ain't going anywhere
Nothing in this world
Nothing in this wicked world
Could move me anywhere
I... ain't going anywhere
See I don't believe in ghosts
A ghost is just a heart without a home
Now open this door
Open this door
Open this door
