HOUSE OF LUST ------------------------------------------------------------- Talk in tired cliches and ol' butterball bonds Relaxin' with the candyman Kick off your shoes Champagne financed pacific time bomb Minnesota Al and his thoroughbred blues Shadows like winds are diggin' deeper in the mind The fruits of false love left buried in the sun Wake up tomorrow, everything is lookin' fine You reach for your freedom but ya ain't got none in the House of Lust I count six maids climbing up a Hollywood hill the hobo trekker got a long way to go Never say you never got no time to kill They call me Wild Phil but it's really Buffalo in the House of Lust You said it was all ya ever wanted in the world in the House of Lust Well you gave her hope and then you gave her belief But then you took her life, you ran away like a thief and She's on her knees in the dust and ash with her emergency stash Another sigh, another tear, another scar for the House of Lust I go all the way around my elbow just to get back to my thumb Spontaneous combustion in the opium den Sunday suits and a belly full of crumbs Take it and follow your own senses till the end in the House of Lust you said it was all ya ever wanted in the world in the House of Lust
