The House that Jack Kerouac Built - Remastered

You and I together
With nothing showing at all
In a darkened cinema
I'll give you pleasure in the stalls

Wanna give you tenderness
And my affection too
If it's through clenched teeth
That's what you driven me to

Want us to be lovers
Want us to be friends
Want it like it's the living end

Keep me away from her
Keep me away from her
Keep me away from her

With your kittens
On the patchwork quilt
Oh no, what am I doing here
In the house Jack Kerouac built?

There's white magic
And bad rock and roll
Your friend there says
He's the gatekeeper to my soul

The velvet curtains
The Chinese bell
With friends like these you're damned as well

Keep me away from her
Keep me away from her
Keep me away from her

Shake off your despondency
And your country girl act
You're reading me poetry
That's Irish and so black

I know you're warm
The warmest person alive
But are you warm
Deep down inside?

Want us to be lovers
Want us to be friends
I want it like the world crumbles and then it ends

Keep me away from her
Keep me away from her
Keep me away from her

Baby, you're
You're on the road with a bad crowd
And baby, I'm lonely
You're on the road with a bad crowd
