Cardiacs
Burn Your House Brown
Left to
Live out
Our lives
On Earth

Unplug Katie, crush the orange
Wash the insides, toast the peelings
Break the kitchen, play the windows
Play the floor, the tiles and ceiling

Look out here is hoover standing ugly at the door
His pretty little tubing's getting sucked into the floor
The floor says "This is dangerous", the fridge is unaware
That everything it closes on is living without air

"Plug it in the wall and it works," oven cries
Little drops of grease, all dirty brown but clean inside
Big house, small house, tumbling around
Its a nail the knives and forks and the table to the ground

And unplug Katie, crush the orange
Wash the inside, toast the peelings
Break the kitchen, play the windows
Play the floor the tiles and ceiling

Left to live out my life on Earth
Left to live out my life on Earth
Left to live out my life on Earth
Left to live out my life on Earth
Left to live out my life on Earth
Left to live out my life on Earth
Left to live out my life on Earth
Left to live out my life on Earth
Mary's house is upside down
She burnt the floors to make them brown
But left to her devices, bored by bluntness
She would take pleasure
In finding something pointier
In finding something pointier
In finding something pointier
In finding something pointier
In finding something pointier
In finding something pointier
