The House of Love is Discovered Empty

from SPELLS by The Light Switches

/

lyrics

I have invented a love affair/ in which I was badly betrayed
intimacy’s not my cup of tea/ but fantasy for me is like wine
And I drink too much/ I get scattered like dust
and I stagger through life all alone
so board up the windows to the house of love
and don’t knock cause there’s nobody home

If you’d like to know/ how I grew so strange
well the truth is I was raised up by wolves
who taught me to howl, to scowl, and to growl
but since then I haven’t much changed
But outside the woods/ that don’t work out so good
and you’re bound to wind up alone
So board up the windows to the house of love
and don’t knock cause there’s nobody home

(INSTRUMENTAL VERSE AND CHORUS)

All alone in the moonlight
I will wander alone
All alone in the moonlight
I'm going to wander alone

Once one leaves the pack there’s no turning back
or they’ll just follow your tracks right back to the pack
If you want to catch me come try but those fables don’t lie
and I've got every single one of your lies on my side
If you want to know the truth
here’s some news you can use
you’re never going to drive a stake through a stone
So board up the windows to the house of love
and don’t knock cause there’s nobody home
you know that I told you
don’t knock cause there’s nobody home
don’t you ever forget it
don’t knock cause there’s nobody home
not even on Sundays
don’t knock cause there’s nobody home
home....home....home.....home.....
