Lyrics for Linctus House

[00: 12]you know i used to call my baby up [00: 17]and we'd get real close [00: 21]just like the telephone was a sofa [00: 25]and our thoughts would mingle [00: 28]and we'd leave our minds wide open [00: 33]like a big window in the evening air [00: 38]and we'd say [00: 39]"hey baby, come on in and help yourself to my soul" [00: 50]"hey baby, come on in and help yourself to my soul" [01: 01]but these days, even saying, "hello? how are you?" [01: 05]"i'm fine. how are you?" takes a lot of sweat [01: 10] [01: 15]ain't that a shame [01: 20]ain't that a shame [01: 26]but in linctus house [01: 32]in my flesh hotel [01: 38]i don't care anymore [01: 43] [01: 45]you know my baby and me [01: 47]as kimberley would say [01: 49]we'd curl up like two dogs [01: 51]in front of a fire [01: 55]and our eyes would reflect each other [01: 58]in the warm long heat of love [02: 02]yeah, the warm long heat of love [02: 07]and i would hear the rain falling [02: 09]on the leaves outside [02: 13]i could'nt stand too close the window [02: 16]'cause i'd shiver if i left her side [02: 23]but now i'd shake if we should meet [02: 31]and i spend most of my time in the bushes [02: 34] [02: 36]ain't that a shame [02: 39]know what you're doing [02: 41]ain't that a shame [02: 44]know what you've done [02: 48]but in linctus house [02: 53]in my flesh hotel [02: 59]i don't care anymore [03: 05] [03: 15]"i understand how everything sometimes [03: 17]turns out to be nothing," you say [03: 23]but i wonder if you do [03: 31]and if we understood each other [03: 34]there'd be no need to talk [03: 39]but even that, even talking is out of reach [03: 44]should i say it with flowers or [03: 46]should i say it with nails? [03: 52]i'm not the kind to push you around [03: 56]but i don't want to make myself vulnerable [04: 03]and if i was on my knees [04: 05]you'd have a pretty good view of my skull [04: 09]and i happen to know you're carrying a chisel [04: 12] [04: 13]but in linctus house [04: 18]in my flesh hotel [04: 24]i don't care anymore [04: 29]no [04: 31]in linctus house [04: 35]in my flesh hotel [04: 40]i don't care [04: 46] [04: 58][04: 47]ain't that a shame [05: 01][04: 50]know what you're doing [05: 04][04: 52]ain't that a shame [05: 07][04: 56]know what you've done
