[The Nits - House Of The Sleeping Beauties lyrics]
It floats in gutters of the street
Down the drainpipes underneath this house
We are as quiet as a mouse
After the broken arm things went slow
Since that day I took a
Little, took a little, took a little time
I went down into a bottomless hole
Took a shovel and dug a little, dug a little
Dug a little mine
We are the creatures of the underworld
Beneath the surface of houses and streets
Clay and concrete
Shoulder to shoulder we hide in this hole
Light a candle, we need a
Little, need a little, need a little flame
House of the sleeping beauties
House of the sleeping beauties
Through the kerbstones and concrete
Take a breath, we need a
Little, need a little, need a little air
Between cables and copper wire
The submarine goes up a little, up a little
Up a little higher
House of the sleeping beauties
House of the sleeping beauties
House of the sleeping beauties
House of the sleeping beauties
When the thunder shakes the gutta-percha
The rain falls through the heaven hole
In the drainpipes underneath this house
We are as quiet as a mouse
After the broken arm things went slow
Since that day I took a
Little, took a little, i took a little time
Shoulder to shoulder we hide in this hole
Light a candle, we need a
Little, need a little, need a little flame
House of the sleeping beauties
House of the sleeping beauties
House of the sleeping beauties
House of the sleeping beauties
I got out through an open door
If there's time I need a
Little, need a little, need a little more
