And The House Fell Down - Elton John
The sun is up and the
shades are all pulled down
I'm more paranoid with
every little sound
Like the leaf blower
blowing the leaves around
And a siren wailing on
the other side of town
Oh the TVs on and the
colors really hurt my head
If I could think straight
I'd wish I was dead
Or curled up naked
in my lover's bed
Instead I'm hanging over Hell
suspended by a single thread
And I don't recall
who said it at this time
That your enemies grow
strong on what you
leave behind
I built it up
and the wolf he came around
He huffed and puffed
He huffed and puffed
He huffed and puffed
He huffed and puffed
and the house fell down

With a rolled up note
I'm hovering on that line
Three days on a diet
of cocaine and wine
And a little weed just to
level me sometime
I put the clock in the drawer
'cause I've cancelled
out the time
And still that saying
gets inside my mind
That your enemies grow
strong on what you
leave behind
I built it up
and the wolf he came around
He huffed and puffed
He huffed and puffed
He huffed and puffed
He huffed and puffed
and the house fell down
So don't knock on my door
don't try to call
I'm holed up in this room
talking to the wall
When you're high as this
you think you know it all
When you're this deep in
there's no place else to fall

And I don't recall
who said it at this time
That your enemies grow
strong on what you
leave behind
I built it up
and the wolf he came around
He huffed and puffed
He huffed and puffed
He huffed and puffed
He huffed and puffed
and the house fell down
And still that saying
gets inside my mind
That your enemies grow
strong on what you
leave behind
I built it up
and the wolf he came around
He huffed and puffed
He huffed and puffed
He huffed and puffed
He huffed and puffed
and the house fell down
and the house fell down
