House of Yesterday - Ariel Pink

Look at the white man preparing for war

Takes one look at his wife one last time

Look at the white man declaring the war

Over and out like a charlie no more

Look at the white man he’s fashioned a list

Look at the poor boy, he’s dead from his own war

And enjoy the silence for the last twenty four

And no one belongs here, no one belongs, doesn’t belong here

They put me in a coffin and they buried me in a trench

I’m dying like a maggot, can you smell the stench?

They put my love life on life support

They threw me in the dungeon like I never was born

And no one belongs here

And no one belongs here

No one belongs here

Something to save

An image you’re painting in a house of yesterday (house of yesterday)

Rip out the pages and set them ablaze

As you lay down in your grave (lay down in your grave)

Something to save

A vanishing grave yard in a house of yesterday (house of yesterday)

Rip out the pages and set them ablaze

As you lay down in your grave (lay down in your grave)

Yesterday

Yesterday

Yesterday

Something to save

An image you’re painting in a house of yesterday (house of yesterday)

Brush it aside

There’s always tomorrow as you lay down in your grave (lay down in your grave)

Something to save

An image you’re painting in a house of yesterday (house of yesterday)

Rip out the pages and set them ablaze

As you lay down in your grave (lay down in your grave)
