Human Like A House

New front door, same address
 Same front step, same back-porch
 Geraniums to the terrace
 Sold my shoes to pay the rent
 I won't be needing them
 I won't be leaving too soon
 Oh my dear, do undress
 You look so different in those new shoes
 To impress someone you have never met
 Someone you already know
 Is waiting behind my front door
 And by the door you know I'll wait
 Oh, by the window, by the gate
 I'm waiting for your sound
 So softly, dear, don't hesitate
 The lion looms along the lake
 And swallows every sound
 But oh, I wish that I could take
 That simple lonely way
 That long cold lonely way
 But these days it takes more than two feet
 It takes four to fill the road
 I fend and swing the axe at for
 I've trampled all over the place
 Swung to and fro and still no state
 Has held me in its bounds
 But by the bridge I'd like to stay
 Oh, by the ocean, by the bay
 And hope that you'll come around
 Oh, my dear, do undress
 You look so different in those new clothes
 To impress someone you have never met
 I'm the one needing you
 I'm the one with no shoes
 So by the door you know I'll wait
 Oh, looking out the golden gate
 She yawns into the morning...
