The Big House

Written in 1996 and released on the tour only CD Lovers Leap sold on tour & online in 1997.
It has never been played live as far as I know.
The big house is lit up at night,
an island in the calm of the storm
Scattered meaningless shattered words
and bored security guards
The speaker stack is a wall too high to climb
It protects you from the outside world
Malice, jealousy and their hard, cruel touch
I exchange the look - "Yeah, well, good luck"
I turn my back - the gold plated carrot on a stick -
You just hurt my heart too much

Now you have a name, it doesn't matter who you are
Don't think about it, maybe you'll go far
Let them weigh you and judge you and let them

Tell me what to say
I don't believe you anymore
Tell me what to say
I don't have the words anymore

Sense of peace and dignity undermined
Your reverse Midas Touch
My fear always made you laugh
I never liked it all that much

Tell me what to say
I don't believe you anymore
Tell me what to say
I don't have the words anymore
