Houses In Motion
For a long time I felt without style or grace
Wearing shoes with no socks in cold weather
I knew my heart was in the right place
I knew I'd be able to do these things
As we watch him digging his own grave
It was important to know that was where he's at
"Can't afford to stop," that is what he believe
He'll keep on digging for a thousand years
I'm walking a line, I'm thinking about empty motion
I'm walking a line, just barely enough to be living
Get outta the way (No time to begin)
This isn't the time (So nothing was done)
Not talking about (Not many at all)
I'm turnin' around (No trouble at all)
You notice there's nothing around you, 'round you
I'm walking a line, divide and dissolve
Never get to say much, never get to talk
Tell us a little bit, but not too much
Right about then is where she give up
She has closed her eyes, she has give up hope
I'm walking a line, I hate to be dreamin' in motion
I'm walking a line, just barely enough to be living
Get outta the way (No time to begin)
This isn't the time (So nothing was done)
Not talking about (Not many at all)
I'm turnin' around (No trouble at all)
I'm keeping my fingers behind me, 'hind me
I'm walking a line, divide and dissolve
I'm walking a line, I'm visiting houses in motion
I'm walking a line, just barely enough to be living
Get outta the way (No time to begin)
This isn't the time (So nothing was done)
Not talking about (Not many at all)
I'm turnin' around (No trouble at all)
Two different houses surround you, 'round you
I'm walking a line, divide and dissolve
Wearing shoes with no socks in cold weather
I knew my heart was in the right place
I knew I'd be able to do these things
As we watch him digging his own grave
It was important to know that was where he's at
"Can't afford to stop," that is what he believe
He'll keep on digging for a thousand years
I'm walking a line, I'm thinking about empty motion
I'm walking a line, just barely enough to be living
Get outta the way (No time to begin)
This isn't the time (So nothing was done)
Not talking about (Not many at all)
I'm turnin' around (No trouble at all)
You notice there's nothing around you, 'round you
I'm walking a line, divide and dissolve
Never get to say much, never get to talk
Tell us a little bit, but not too much
Right about then is where she give up
She has closed her eyes, she has give up hope
I'm walking a line, I hate to be dreamin' in motion
I'm walking a line, just barely enough to be living
Get outta the way (No time to begin)
This isn't the time (So nothing was done)
Not talking about (Not many at all)
I'm turnin' around (No trouble at all)
I'm keeping my fingers behind me, 'hind me

I'm walking a line, I'm visiting houses in motion
I'm walking a line, just barely enough to be living

I'm turnin' around (No trouble at all)
Two different houses surround you, 'round you
I'm walking a line, divide and dissolve
