We burn our mind and we say good night
And we do it all again
And around and around we go
You cover ground with a dangerous life
And you look like a painting of a beaten saint in a robe

And even if we tell a lie
No one’s gonna know until we fall back fall back
Even though we’re sewn shut
Even if we tell a lie
No one’s gonna know until we fall back fall back
Even though we’re sewn shut

I built this house on solid ground
Will you come and stay with me?
I’ll settle down

I did crimes for the empty lives
That offend to the parliament
Back again, then wake up
You cover ground with a natural high
And everywhere you go the people admire you

And even if we tell a lie
No one’s gonna know until we fall back fall back
Even though we’re sewn shut
Even if we tell a lie
No one’s gonna know until we fall back fall back
Even though we’re sewn shut

I built this house on solid ground
Will you come and stay with me?
I’ll settle down

I built this house on solid ground
Will you come and stay with me?
I’ll settle down

I built this house on solid ground
Will you come and stay with me?
I’ll settle down

Even if we tell a lie
No one’s gonna know until we fall back fall back
Even though we’re sewn shut

Even if we tell a lie
No one’s gonna know until we fall back fall back
Even though we’re sewn shut
