Screen falling off the door door hanging off the hinges my Feet are still sore my back is on the fringes We tore up the walls we slept on couches We lifted this house we lifted this house Fire-crackers in the east my car parked south Your hands on my cheeks your shoulder in my mouth I was up against the wall on the west mezzanine We rattle this town, we rattle this scene O, Anna Sun O, Anna Sun What do you know? this house is falling apart What can I say? this house is falling apart We got no money, but we got heart We're gonna rattle this ghost town This house is falling apart Screen falling off the door door hanging off the hinges My feet are still sore my back is on the fringes We were up against the wall on the west mezzanine We rattle this town we rattle this scene O, Anna Sun O, Anna Sun What do you know? this house is falling apart What can I say? this house is falling apart We got no money, but we got heart We're gonna rattle this ghost town What do you know? this house is falling apart What can I say? this house is falling apart We got no money, but we got heart We're gonna rattle this ghost town This house is falling apart This house is falling apart Live my life without Station wagon rides Fumbling around the back Not one seat belt on Wait for summertime Coming up for air Now it's all a wash Now it's all a wash Live my life without Coming up for air Now it's all a wash I want everyone Racing down the hill I am faster than you Wait for summertime Wait for summertime O, Anna Sun O, Anna Sun, sun What do you know? this house is falling apart What can I say? this house is falling apart We got no money, but we got heart We're gonna rattle this ghost town What do you know? this house is falling apart What can I say? this house is falling apart We got no money, but we got heart We're gonna rattle this ghost town This house is falling apart This house is falling apart This house is falling apart We're gonna rattle this ghost town This house is falling apart This house is falling apart
