lyrics

The house is crumbling all around me
I don’t know what to do
It walks and talks and stalks the night
Like I do
The railroad underground and slaves were
Found here one day they say
If we live here, I can’t stay here
The walls will surely tumble down

Cats cannot stay on my porch
I just can’t take their love anymore

This town is crazy, when we leave here
We will surely be the same
I was born here, left aware
And came back just the other day
The old neighborhood is just so good
They know not what to make of me
They switched to five digit addresses
No more old thirty-three

Cats should not eat from my hand
I don’t know why they keep coming back

We used to have a pool
And a pet raccoon
And a chimney for the chilly nights
But the pool ran dry
And the coon done died
When the chimney came crashing down
The news was all over town
I don't know what we're gonna do now

The front yard racetrack slowly grows back
Quiet are Sunday mornings now
We fixed the awkward social black hole
I don’t know why or even how
Everybody sings our praises
Now they’re singing our songs too
The house is crumbling all around me
I don’t care, why should you

Now we need a cat for our mouse
Crawling through the walls of this house
