lirik lagu victor v. gurbo - burnin' the manor down
[verse]
mother superior jumped the gun
but all in all it was a little fun
that ripped the b~ttons clean off of your coat
she warned you not to let me in
and that to do so was embodied sin
i tell you, she warned you not to gloat
when i come there’s gonna be no water
you should have locked the doors, and told your daughters
but well~ they all know by now
that the good book told of my coming
you should hit the ground and start running
before i face the curtain with a bow
[chorus]
babe alight the hen house
we’re gonna burn the b~st~rd down
and sit and wait and watch ‘till thе ashes hit the ground
we’ll howl likе havilah
for there will be no words
the sound of the burning mansion will form a waltzing dirge
[verse]
we sat together at the dining table
and i told you every single fable
and tried to prove that the world is utterly flat
but honey baby the table is round
and your mother thinks you’re dixie bound
and i’ve got a room here~ can you imagine that?
listen heavenly havilah
you know i’ve got somethin’ for ya
i’d hand it over but you’ve gotta close your eyes
the records in the jukebox turn
and the pretty little lines they burn
long after the melody is gone
[chorus]
babe alight the hen house
we’re gonna burn the b~st~rd down
and sit and wait and watch ‘till the ashes hit the ground
we’ll howl like havilah
for there will be no words
the sound of the burning mansion will form a waltzing dirge
[verse]
well i promise not to meddle
but please light up a kettle
and i’ll have a cup before i leave this place
insanity is never learning
the seasons change and the wheels keep turning
you can see it in the lines of your face
if there’s anything you love
it’ll be the first thing i shove
deep into the flames and rising ash
but hank is gone and the king is dead
and the radio is hanging on by a thread
so if you feel something burning, don’t you be rash
[chorus]
babe alight the hen house
we’ll burn the b~st~rd down
the melody will rise and fall but never make a sound
rebuild, trouble, toil
you’ll never find an end
because as soon as you rise on up i’ll come right back again
