Jandek - It’s Your House lyrics

Your rating:

The next time you talk

Talk to me 

Got eyes for you 

Got ears for you 

And I'm watching 

And I'm listening 

What do I see? 

What do I hear? 

The next time you walk 

Walk my way 

The next time you talk 

Speak to me, take me 

Another day on the road 

Carrying my load 

Heavy, now 

So so much weight 

Did I wait too long? 

Keep me strong 

Let me build my house 

For you to come in 

Take away this thing 

Let me build my house 

I'm ready for the house 

I'm ready for the house 

Do you hear? 

Yeah, you hear 

You're one big ear 

You're one big eye 

You see me, small as I am 

You hear me, through all this noise 

You know, I'm ready for the house 

Let me build my house 

I got a dream 

Of granite rocks 

And iron bars 

Let me build my house of rock and steel 

Let me build my house 

Let me build my house 

I got this dream 

Of iron and steel 

Of rock and granite 

Black flecks in the gray stone it's granite 

It's heavy rock 

It's heavy rock 

It's cast iron 

Cast iron and heavy rock 

Don't got no glass 

Don't got no wood 

Don't got no synthetic fiber 

No foil products 

Don't got no glass 

Don't got no plastic 

Don't got no wood 

Don't got to brick 

Don't got no shingles 

Don't got no aluminum siding 

I want my house 

I want my granite iron house 

Don't you know, I'm ready for the house 

I got this dream of my house 

The one you gave me in my mind 

I'm ready for the house 

Let me build my house 

I got this dream 

Oh, you know that enough to have my dream 

My dream come true 

You could do it 

There is no doubt 

There is no doubt 

And another thing, I'm ready for the house 

I'm ready for the house 

Just put me there 

You'll see I'm ready for the house 

You make me come 

You make me go 

Here and there and everywhere 

And I don't complain 

Even though it hurts 

You know I tell you all about it but 

I don't mind livin in my dream 

I don't mind livin in my dream 

But let me tell you, you know, I know you know 

I'm ready for the house 

You gave me my dream 

You know I'm workin' 

I'm working, I'm trying 

I'm not sloughin' off, I'm givin' it all I got 

And you know, I'm ready for the house 

I'm ready for the house 

I'm ready for the house 

The house is mine 

It's in my mind 

They say mind over matter 

Well let that be 

Let it be my mind 

That creates the matter 

That builds my house 

Out of granite 

And cast iron 

I love my house 

Like I love my mind 

I'll take it over anybody else's house 

I'll take it over anybody else's mind 

You couldn't sell my anybody else's being 

I'm not interested 

You know I'm a loner 

I don't like anything but my dreams 

And doin' right by you 

And you set my example 

Let me build my house 

Let me build my house 

Let me build my house 

Then step my foot inside my dream 

Put my dream on this planet 

Put my dream on this earth 

Then see if I can have some fun 

Let's give it a try 

Let me build my house 

Let me build my house 

You know I'm ready for the house 

Let me live my dream 

I'll give up all my time 

I'll give up my whole life 

Forget all the money 

Forget all the time 

Forget my whole life 

For right now, let me build my house 

I want my house 

I want a granite house 

With steel bars on the windows and doors 

And a fence all around it 

And maybe on the ceiling too 

But ha ha ha ha 

You can drive all those other materials they mess with when they make houses 

Like wood, plastic and brick and glass 

Just give me granite and cast iron 

I'll build a house 

I'll build a house you can be proud of 

I'll live in it, I'll die in it 

I'll worship in it 

And I'll be good 

'Cause I wanna be good 

You can have all your bad 

I've seen it, and I don't want it 

I love good, I love righteous 

And I need to be that way 

And I know you want that 

And I tell you, you got it from me 

Let me build my house 

Granite and iron 

I'm ready for the house 

Ain't no way I can lose 

Gimme that house 

Aw, just gimme that house 

And you got it, as if you didn't have it already 

You got it, you got me, you got my love 

That won't ever change 

No matter where you put me through 

Ain't nobody else left around 

You got me by myself 

You want me by myself, you got me 

I can't see anybody else 

Unless I go where there's people 

Which I do 

Just to keep tryin' to build my house 

If I wasn't tryin' to build my house I'd be in the woods 

Walkin' around lookin' at trees or sand or rock or what or skies 

Maybe I'd see an animal 

Maybe I'd see a bird 

I tell you what, thought 

I wouldn't mind 

Can you take me to that place you know 

Back where'd I be 

Well I tell you one thing 

At this point I'm ready for the house 

I'm ready for the house 

Sounds good enough to me 

I'm ready for your house 

For you house, it's not my house 

It's your house 

You done went and put it in my mind 

I mean, where do my thoughts and dreams come from, huh? 

I'm sure you contribute to it 

You put it in my mind 

My house, hey, I'm ready for it 

And that ain't all 

I'm ready to live in it 

I'm ready to die in it 

I'm ready to be there 

Aha I'm ready for the house 

Ready for the house 

Granite, cast iron 

It's my dream 

I been ready a long time 

I think now I'm really ready 

I'm ready for the house 

Hey, put me there 

Hey, let me put myself there 

Hey, huh huh huh huh huh huh I'm ready for the house 

And if you don't put me there, guess what? 

I'll be there anyway, in my mind 

Where's it at anyway? 

It's in my mind, lest I put it on the ground 

Ain't no two ways about it 

I'm ready for the house
