Paroles It's your house Jandek

It's your house

The next time you talk

Talk to me

Got eyes for you

Got ears for you

And I'm watching

And I'm listening

What do I see?

What do I hear?

The next time you walk

Walk my way

The next time you talk

Speak to me, take me
Another day on the road

Carrying my load

Heavy, now

So so much weight

Did I wait too long?

Keep me strong

Let me build my house

For you to come in

Take away this thing

Let me build my house

I'm ready for the house

I'm ready for the house

Do you hear?

Yeah, you hear

You're one big ear

You're one big eye

You see me, small as I am

You hear me, through all this noise

You know, I'm ready for the house

Let me build my house

I got a dream

Of granite rocks

And iron bars

Let me build my house of rock and steel

Let me build my house

Let me build my house

I got this dream

Of iron and steel

Of rock and granite

Black flecks in the gray stone it's granite

It's heavy rock

It's heavy rock

It's cast iron

Cast iron and heavy rock

Don't got no glass

Don't got no wood

Don't got no synthetic fiber

No foil products

Don't got no glass

Don't got no plastic

Don't got no wood

Don't got to brick

Don't got no shingles

Don't got no aluminum siding

I want my house

I want my granite iron house

Don't you know, I'm ready for the house

I got this dream of my house

The one you gave me in my mind

I'm ready for the house

Let me build my house

I got this dream

Oh, you know that enough to have my dream

My dream come true

You could do it

There is no doubt

There is no doubt

And another thing, I'm ready for the house

I'm ready for the house

Just put me there

You'll see I'm ready for the house

You make me come

You make me go

Here and there and everywhere

And I don't complain

Even though it hurts

You know I tell you all about it but

I don't mind livin in my dream

I don't mind livin in my dream

But let me tell you, you know, I know you know

I'm ready for the house

You gave me my dream

You know I'm workin'

I'm working, I'm trying

I'm not sloughin' off, I'm givin' it all I got

And you know, I'm ready for the house

I'm ready for the house

I'm ready for the house

The house is mine

It's in my mind

They say mind over matter

Well let that be

Let it be my mind

That creates the matter

That builds my house

Out of granite

And cast iron

I love my house

Like I love my mind

I'll take it over anybody else's house

I'll take it over anybody else's mind

You couldn't sell my anybody else's being

I'm not interested

You know I'm a loner

I don't like anything but my dreams

And doin' right by you

And you set my example

Let me build my house

Let me build my house

Let me build my house

Then step my foot inside my dream

Put my dream on this planet

Put my dream on this earth

Then see if I can have some fun

Let's give it a try

Let me build my house

Let me build my house

You know I'm ready for the house

Let me live my dream

I'll give up all my time

I'll give up my whole life

Forget all the money

Forget all the time

Forget my whole life

For right now, let me build my house

I want my house

I want a granite house

With steel bars on the windows and doors

And a fence all around it

And maybe on the ceiling too

But ha ha ha ha

You can drive all those other materials they mess with when they make houses

Like wood, plastic and brick and glass

Just give me granite and cast iron

I'll build a house

I'll build a house you can be proud of

I'll live in it, I'll die in it

I'll worship in it

And I'll be good

'Cause I wanna be good

You can have all your bad

I've seen it, and I don't want it

I love good, I love righteous

And I need to be that way

And I know you want that

And I tell you, you got it from me

Let me build my house

Granite and iron

I'm ready for the house

Ain't no way I can lose

Gimme that house

Aw, just gimme that house

And you got it, as if you didn't have it already

You got it, you got me, you got my love

That won't ever change

No matter where you put me through

Ain't nobody else left around

You got me by myself

You want me by myself, you got me

I can't see anybody else

Unless I go where there's people

Which I do

Just to keep tryin' to build my house

If I wasn't tryin' to build my house I'd be in the woods

Walkin' around lookin' at trees or sand or rock or what or skies

Maybe I'd see an animal

Maybe I'd see a bird

I tell you what, thought

I wouldn't mind

Can you take me to that place you know

Back where'd I be

Well I tell you one thing

At this point I'm ready for the house

I'm ready for the house

Sounds good enough to me

I'm ready for your house

For you house, it's not my house

It's your house

You done went and put it in my mind

I mean, where do my thoughts and dreams come from, huh?

I'm sure you contribute to it

You put it in my mind

My house, hey, I'm ready for it

And that ain't all

I'm ready to live in it

I'm ready to die in it

I'm ready to be there

Aha I'm ready for the house

Ready for the house

Granite, cast iron

It's my dream

I been ready a long time

I think now I'm really ready

I'm ready for the house

Hey, put me there

Hey, let me put myself there

Hey, huh huh huh huh huh huh I'm ready for the house

And if you don't put me there, guess what?

I'll be there anyway, in my mind

Where's it at anyway?

It's in my mind, lest I put it on the ground

Ain't no two ways about it

I'm ready for the house
