House Gone Up In Flames by The Nightwatchman
House Gone Up In Flames
Tuned down 1/2 step
Dm
It's in the grain of the wood
It's in the needle's rust
C
It's in the eagle's claw
Dm
It's in the eyes you trust
It's in the jackal's dreams
It's in the sleet and the hail
C
It's in the unmarked box
Dm
That came today in the mail
It's in the dead man's pocket
It's in the child's first sin
C
It's in the Constitution
Dm
Written in very small print
It's in Colin Powell's lies
It's in the shaman's trance
C
It's in the cellar waiting
D minor
And it's in the best laid plans
F C
We could cut and run
Dm
And take half the blame
C
Don't stop now
G
That's why we came
House gone up in flames
Dm
It's in the National Anthem
It's in the scurrying roach
C
It's in the closed partition
Dm
'Tween first class and coach
It's in the relentless fever
It's in the lonely room
C
It's in the hands of fate
Dm
And it's in the pharaoh's tomb
It's in the rich man's dreams
It's in the poor man's hands
C
It's in the body bags
Dm
Along the Rio Grande
It's in the evening shade
It's on the zealot's tongue
C
It's in the widow's tears
D minor
And it's in the miner's lungs
F C
We could cut and run
Dm
And take half the blame
C
Don't stop now
G
That's why we came
House gone up in flames
Dm
It's in the moon's dark spin
It's in the cloudless sky
C
It was in St. Peter's denial
Dm
That he'd thrice deny
It's in the distant thunder
It's in the whispered prayer
C
That they won't find us hidden here
Dm
Beneath the stairs
So consider yourself lucky
And watch what you say
C
I got what I wanted
Dm
You might get the same
It's in the bold print nailed
To the cathedral door
C
It's in the black cold pressure
Dm
On the ocean floor
F C
We could cut and run
And take half the blame
Don't stop now
That's why we came
House gone up in flames
