The Psychedelic Furs - House (album version) lyrics

This day is not my life The pa**ing time is not my life The thorn that's in my side Is all these scenes that we regret The wasted words we can't forget Through the windows of my room I hear the traffic breathing slowly Someplace miles away Make promises pay Shame, will shake this house Shame, will shake this house Your dreams are not my life These broken words are not my life Your lies are none of my invention Your promises were not plan Now the party girls have gone I hear the rattle of their heels Before their footsteps fade Make promises pay Shame, will shake this house Shame, will shake this house The pa**ing time is not my life I've been counted down and shouted out I had everything i wanted Nothing i can't rise above To let it show was not my plan Headlines and frontpages Sell weddings and divorces Make promises pay Make promises pay Shame, will shake this house Shame, will shake this house
