lyrics

HOUSE ON BEACON HILL

it was at a house on beacon hill
i kept her waiting by the door until
she had no money but she had a price
a thousand demons dancing in her eyes

they tried to tell me she was always shy
i saw her from the corner of my wandering eye
in her hand, she held a loaded gun
i called her on her last bluff
and i do believe she was having fun

don't you know i wanna go?

i left the house on beacon hill
and stood and waited by the old canal
i stoked the fire and i cursed the light
and stared in wonder at the ghostly white

she tried to tell me she was never high
and nervously i stumbled thru her blood red eyes
in her hands, she held a flaming pie
she lost me on that last one
but i do believe she was having fun

don't you know i wanna go?

they tried to tell me she was always shy
i saw her from the corner of my wandering eye
in her hand, she held a loaded gun
i called her on her last bluff
and i know she's having fun
she tried to tell me she was never high
and nervously i stumbled thru her blood red eyes
in her hands, she held a smoking gun
she got me on that last one
and i do believe she was having fun
