House Of Sin Lyrics

It ain’t safe. It ain’t clean and the doors don’t lock
It’s got demons in the walls and sometimes they talk
That’s where I used to live yeah and I was born that way
I was livin’ to die and dying alone
I needed a place where it felt like home
So now I don’t live in that house of sin no more

I tried to clean that house like any good man should
I hid the trash in back I put new paint on the wood
I made it look o.k., if you were passing by
But if you stayed for a while it didn’t take long
To figure it out that something’s all wrong, really wrong
So now I don’t live in that house of sin no more

You know I looked real hard but I couldn’t see
That the place I lived in had a hold on me
I didn’t understand I guess I couldn’t tell
I was a hard working man heading straight to Hell

My house payments got so high I couldn’t make ends meet
I thought I’d find myself out on the street
And then a house builder said, “I’ve got an offer from the boss
We’ve got a mansion bought and paid for
And we’ll trade it for your little house straight across.�
So now I don’t have to live in that house of sin no more
