[00:27.34]Fingers blistered from the nightly
[00:29.25]scratching at the window
[00:31.18]which won＇t open
[00:32.40]far enough to let air in.
[00:34.72]
[00:35.58]The house wins.
[00:36.90]
[00:38.71]Oh, the house always wins.
[00:41.89]
[00:44.99]Feral cats are screaming
[00:46.54]at the clouds beneath the window
[00:48.81]with the crack so small
[00:50.44]that nothing gets within.
[00:52.10]
[00:53.15]The house wins.
[00:54.15]Oh, the house always wins.
[00:59.24]
[01:01.92]You don＇t have to be alone
[01:04.10]To be lonely,
[01:05.35]You might as well give in.
[01:08.29]
[01:20.52]Telephones are howling
[01:22.14]at the cats out in the alley
[01:24.63]and the window offers
[01:26.07]nothing in the din.
[01:27.81]
[01:28.89]The house wins.
[01:30.34]
[01:32.15]Oh, the house always wins.
[01:35.09]
[01:38.21]Clouds uncage the car alarms
[01:40.41]to chase the cats and telephones.
[01:42.90]Fingers rake and rasp
[01:44.33]away their skin.
[01:45.64]
[01:46.46]The house wins.
[01:47.83]
[01:49.77]Oh, the house always wins.
[01:52.70]
[01:55.32]You don＇t have to be alone
[01:57.50]to be lonely,
[01:59.44]You might as well give in.
[02:01.37]
[02:04.18]Yeah, you don＇t have to be alone
[02:07.42]to be lonely;
[02:08.43]You might as well give in.
[02:10.18]
[02:40.74]Ice age upon catastrophic
[02:42.81]ice age of selection,
[02:45.11]and only one result
[02:46.62]has trickled in:
[02:47.93]
[02:48.86]The house wins.
[02:50.17]
[02:52.04]Oh, the house always wins.
[02:55.35]
[02:58.28]If evil were a lesser breed
[03:00.46]than justice, after all these years
[03:03.02]the righteous would have
[03:04.21]freed the world of sin.
[03:05.96]
[03:06.58]The house wins.
[03:08.26]
[03:09.89]Oh, the house always wins.
[03:13.07]
[03:15.50]You don＇t have to be alone
[03:17.56]to be lonely,
[03:19.07]
[03:19.64]You might as well give in.
[03:22.13]
[03:24.38]You don＇t have to be alone
[03:26.44]to be lonely,
[03:27.81]
[03:28.44]You might as well give in.
[03:30.93]
[03:33.56]You don＇t have to be sick
[03:35.37]to be dying;
[03:36.67]
[03:37.42]You might as well give in.
[03:39.42]
[03:42.36]You don＇t have to be lost
[03:44.41]to be lost.
[03:46.04]
[03:46.59]Oh, give in.
[03:48.16]
[03:51.28]You don＇t have to be alone
[03:53.52]to be lonely;
[03:54.77]
[03:55.52]You might as well give in.
