lyrics

THE HOUSE ON THE ROAD

notice the tree
coming out of the land
reaching up towards the sky like an apple for a hand
the sky is a giant spoon
turned upside down
never shine your silver
when the guests are around

the house on the road
is making me laugh
it looks so grumpy and silent
that I want to take a photograph
how many gentlemen have worked this hard?
how many dogs are buried
back in the yard

big white car driving right on by
blind as a horse with a blanket
over his eyes
where is the rider man
with the tinted glass in his hand?
he's making a toast to the new owners
of the old land
he's making a toast to the new owners of the old land

so notice the tree
coming out of the land
reaching up towards the sky
like an apple for a hand
the sky is a silver spoon
flipped upside down
you should never shine the silver
when the guests are around
