Get Out Of My House

When you left, the door was
(slamming!)
You paused in the doorway
(slamming!)
As though a thought stole you away
(slamming!)
I watch the world pull you away
(slamming!)

So I run into the hall,
(Lock it!)
Into the corridor
(Lock it!)
There's a door in the house
(slamming)
I hear the lift descending
(slamming)
I hear it hit the landing,
(slamming)
See the hackles on the cat
(standing)

With my key I
(lock it)
With my key I
(lock it up)
With my key I
(lock it)
With my key I
(lock it up)

I am the concierge chez-moi, honey
Won't letcha in for love, nor money
(let me in)
My home, my joy
I'm barred and bolted and I
(Won't let you in)

Get out of my house!
No stranger's feet
Will enter me
(Get out of my house!)
I wash the panes,
(Get out of my house!)
I clean the stains away
(Get out of my house!)

This house is as old as I am
(slamming)
This house knows all I have done
(slamming)
They come with their weather hanging 'round them,
(slamming)
But can't knock my door down!
(slamming)

This house is full of m-m-my mess.
(slamming)
This house is full of m-m-mistakes.
(slamming)
This house is full of m-m-madness.
(slamming/madness)
This house is full of, full of, full of fight!
(slamming)

With my keeper I
(clean up).
With my keeper I
(clean it all up).

"Woman let me in!
Let me bring in the memories!
Woman let me in!
Let me bring in the Devil Dreams!"

I will not let you in!
Don't you bring back the reveries.
I turn into a bird,
Carry further than the word is heard.

"Woman let me in!
I turn into the wind.
I blow you a cold kiss,
Stronger than the song's hit."

I will not let you in.
I face towards the wind.
I change into the Mule.
(let me in)
