Yo La Tengo - House Fall Down lyrics
[Yo La Tengo - House Fall Down lyrics]
I met a tugboat captain
The stories he could tell
Of a sailor's life in the shallow water
The saddest yarn he'd spin
It happened on dry land
He saw his house fall down
It shed it's bricks
And it dropped to the ground
Ah well, made him feel so bad
Thinks about it and he cries
Ah well, made him feel so mad
Don't wanna think about it now
You never walk out or even look away
He had a house torn down
Swipe a deed, start breaking ground
Drop some mortar
We'll be rippin' up your asphalt
Another house goes down and another house
And another drops to the ground
Drops to the ground
The stories he could tell
Of a sailor's life in the shallow water
The saddest yarn he'd spin
It happened on dry land
He saw his house fall down
It shed it's bricks
And it dropped to the ground
Ah well, made him feel so bad
Thinks about it and he cries
Ah well, made him feel so mad
Don't wanna think about it now
You never walk out or even look away
He had a house torn down
Swipe a deed, start breaking ground
Drop some mortar
We'll be rippin' up your asphalt
Another house goes down and another house
And another drops to the ground
Drops to the ground
