Sunstroke House

O, fraudulent mirror, oh, rank rainbow toad

I'd break apart too, if I knowed what you knowed

I'd fall from the wall, I'd leap from the road

You take cover in the clover, you don't shoulder the load

Wagner and wife, drama and strife

Their syphilitic friend Dionysus is wise not to ask

"Where's Sunstroke House?"

Where's a crow on the far fence? Where's a mill by the pond?

Pale with horror, I saw you when your bird flew

Now who in the whole low world has been kind to you?

Save for a kindly, ugly few

Don't read it, don't watch it, don't do what they do

From the wind in the winter, no mercy, no quarter

From the summer no mercy, and little goes well

That's where you'll live, that's where you'll live

Till a gale rips ya sail, till a will kills ya mill

Where have you been, my heat, my shadow?

How well did you like the song?

I filled it so full of nonsense and unrule

You feel like there's something forgotten or fell

Pale with horror I saw you when your bird flew

Now who in the whole low world has been kind to you?

Save for a kindly, ugly few

Don't read it, don't watch it, don't do what they do

Pink lipped bub, golden haired sitting

Portraits of withering roots

Pretty diversions, pointless excursions

Pleasant distractions, underground mutes
