I live in a cool funky house
That dances to the beat of the rainWhen it does I can't sleep
Because the whole house is shaking
And the decorative china plates
I carefully put on the shelves
Are clattering to the ground
And dividing
Into trillions of sharp edgesIf I try to get up and leave
My bare feet will get cut
And I'll bleed out
And die right there on the carpetI don't have the money or the time to get the blood out of that thing
