The House Shook

Safe for now

I turn around now to turn

The television drone down down

Cause in the night those same sounds

Amplify in my life

They spill on the floor and out the front door

And when I finished the book the house shook.

Hey babe when the walls shake

We'll be halfway to the bank

Hey babe when the floors quake

We'll be shaking out the take.

Safe for now

Every damn day a hero of mine dies trying to fly

And they lie where their lovers lie

Like everything's fine

So pound on the chest and hope for the best

And I'll give you that like

Like we're off the hook.

Hey babe when the walls shake

We'll be halfway to the bank

Hey babe when the floors quake

We'll be shaking out the take.

Hey babe are you awake?

Safe for now

So be sure and save us now

Safe for now

So be brave and save us now.
