Flush & Plumb

After I built that house you said right to my face
The only way I'll die is by the fires steady pace
How do you know I said I'd built you right to code
The only way to tell is with some time and pointed loads

I've been trying to come around
Fire can't be the only thing that brings you down

The bugs are creeping in, the mice not far behind

Or did we just blur the lines
You're getting old, I can hear it in the wind
That's just a song she's singing for you my friend

I've been trying to come around
Fire can't be the only thing that brings you down

Your pipes sprung leaks, the water soaks the bones
City man says nah we can't have moldy homes
The gig is up, you might just be retired
The thing that got you well it never was the fire

I've been trying to come around
Fire can't be the only thing that brings you down

I've been trying to come around
Fire can't be the only thing that brings you down
