This House Is Condemned (Letra)

He’s in a room
He sees the floor
He sees the wall
He sees the roof
He sees the door
It’s nine thirty-eight
So he goes up to the door
And he finds himself in another room
Identical to the one before
The clock still reads nine thirty-eight
So he goes out of that room
But he finds himself in a parallel room
A mirror image of the one before
He hits the floor
He hits the wall
He hits the door
He hits the door
The clock reads nine thirty-eight
He throws it at the roof
He breaks a hole
He climbs out
He sees the moon
He sees the stars
He sees the sky
The stars are small lightbulbs
Set in a black cardboard dome
He climbs out
He sees the stars, he sees the sky
The stars are small lightbulbs
Set in a black cardboard dome
He hits the floor
He hits the wall
He hits the roof
He hits the dome
He hits the dome
Condemned
This house
This house is
This house is
Is this house
This house
Is this house
Fill in housing form
Buy one clock
Time again
Sort housing papers
Still nine thirty-eight
Two thousand years from now
It will still be ticking
He hits the floor
Wall, roof, door
The clock reads nine thirty-eight
He hits the dome
Door, wall
Space, floor
Time
He sees the moon
He sees the stars
For some romantic reason
Space, dome, door, wall, clockface
Space, time, place, floor, wall, door, roof
This is one small step for mankind
One giant leap for man
Ten
Nine
Eight
Seven
Six
Five
Four
Three
Two
One
Zero
We have lift-off
He takes the clock, he breaks the dome, he sees the moon,
He sees the stars, he sees the sky, he sees the earth
For some romantic reason
He takes the clock, he breaks the dome, he sees the moon,
He sees the stars, he sees the sky, he sees the earth
Space, time, place, condensed
Space, time, place, condemned
This is house is
This house is
This house is
Condemned
This house is
This house is
This house is
Condemned.

As the sun shines down on the land so her heart is crying for love
And there is no-one there, no-one to hear her voice and she will sleep alone again tonight
Now the moon is high in the sky
In her room she calls out his name
But he is somewhere else somewhere she cannot see
Oh and the night is dark between them now
‘My god, my God, why did he go away?’
Now the sun shines on a new town
With a smile he gets off the train
He lights a cigarette leans back to see the sky
Oh and he thinks how much better off he is without her hanging round
Let’s do it
And the day is passing by him and he has nowhere to stay
At a lonely bar-room table his mind goes back to yesterday to the girl who’s dead and
buried
But her face lives in his eyes
He must forget that face forever
Make the future start tonight
Forget her
But the meal he eats is dead flesh
There is cancer in his cigarettes and the drinks won’t do a thing for him
But revive some stupid memories
Then a hairstyle that reminds him makes him run into the night
Where the moon hangs high above him now
The same moon that she’s praying on tonight
But the wind catches her words and the moon swallows them whole
Now the moon is high in the sky
In her room she calls out his name
The night is cold and dark and she is all alone
The bed is empty now
Her body screams for love
She wants to be with him
Oh but he’s so far away
Oh and the night is dark between them now
‘My God, my God, why did he go away?’
