It's amazing.] Well the moon is broken and the sky is cracked Come on up to the house The only things that you can see is all that you lack Come on up to the house All your cryin' don't do no good Come on up to the house Well come down off the cross, we can use the wood You gotta come on up to the house Come on up to the house Come on up to the house The world is not my home I'm just a-passin' through You got to come on up to the house There's no light in the tunnel, no irons in the fire Come on up to the house And you're singin' lead soprano in a junkman's choir You got to come on up to the house Doesn't life seem nasty, brutish, and short? Come on up to the house The seas are stormy and you can't find no port You got to come on up to the house, yeah You gotta come on up to the house Come on up to the house The world is not my home I'm just a-passin' through You got to come on up to the house, yeah You gotta come on up to the house Come on up to the house The world is not my home I'm just a-passin' through You got to come on up to the house There's nothin' in the world that you can do You gotta come on up to the house And you been whipped by the forces that are inside you Gotta come on up to the house Well you're high on top of your mountain of woe Gotta come on up to the house Well you know you should surrender but you can't let it go You gotta come up on to the house, yeah Gotta come on up to the house Gotta come on up to the house The world is not my home I'm just a-passin' through You gotta come on up to the house Gotta come on up to the house You gotta come on up to the house Oh yeah - Tom Waits "Come On Up to the House" Mule Variations (1999) [I'm not entirely sure—the message is maddeningly ambiguous—but I think Mr. Waits would like us to come on up to the house.] --G. -><- Benjamin D.
