Elton John - And The House Fell Down lyrics

The sun is up and the
Shades are all pulled down
I'm more paranoid with every little sound
Like the leaf blower blowing
The leaves around
And a siren wailing on the other side of town
Oh the tvs on and the
Colors really hurt my head
If I could think straight I'd wish I was dead
Or curled up naked in my lover's bed
Instead I'm hanging over hell suspended
By a single thread

And I don't recall who said it at this time
That your enemies grow strong on
What you leave behind
I built it up and the wolf he came around
He huffed and puffed and the house fell down

With a rolled up note I'm
Hovering on that line
Three days on a diet of cocaine and wine
And a little weed just to level me sometime
I put the clock in the drawer
Because I've cancelled out the time

And I don't recall who said it at this time
That your enemies grow strong on
What you leave behind
I built it up and the wolf he came around
He huffed and puffed and the house fell down

So don't knock on my door, don't try to call
I'm holed up in this room talking to the wall
When you're high as this you
Think you know it all
When you're this deep in there's
No place else to fall

And I don't recall who said it at this time
That your enemies grow strong on
What you leave behind
I built it up and the wolf he came around
He huffed and puffed and the house fell down

And still that saying gets inside my mind
That your enemies grow strong on
What you leave behind
I built it up and the wolf he came around
He huffed and puffed and the house fell down
