The House That Heaven Built
Japandroids
Letra

When the soul of the city
Was laid to rest
And the nights forgotten
And left for dead

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh

I happened on a house
Built of living light
Where everything evil
Disappears and dies

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh

When they love you, and they will
Tell 'em all they'll love in my shadow
And if they try to slow you down
Tell 'em all to go to hell

I settled in slowly
To this house that you call home
To blood and breath
Fear, flesh and bone

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh

Rush of our bodies
In the heat of the night
All day the day after
Red in the skies

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh

When they love you, and they will
Tell 'em all they'll love in my shadow
And if they try to slow you down
Tell 'em all to go to hell

It's a lifeless life
With no fixed address to give
But you're not mine to die for anymore
So I must live

Born of a bottle
From heaven's hand
And now you know
And here I am

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh

When they love you, and they will
Tell 'em all they'll love in my shadow
And if they try to slow you down
Tell 'em all to go to hell

When they love me, and they will
I'll tell 'em all they'll love in your shadow
And if they try to slow me down
I'll tell 'em all to go to hell
