The House That Heaven Built

  • When the soul of the city
    Was laid to rest
    And the nights forgotten and left for dead
    Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh, oh
    Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh, oh

    I happened on a house
    Built of living light
    Where everything evil disappears and dies
    Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh, oh
    Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh, oh

    When they love you, and they will (and they will)
    Tell 'em all they're loving my shadow
    And if they try to slow you down (slow you down)
    Tell 'em all to go to hell

    When they love you, and they will (and they will)
    Tell 'em all they're loving my shadow
    And if they try to slow you down (slow you down)
    Tell 'em all to go to hell

    I settled in slowly, to this house that you call home
    To blood and breath, fear, flesh and bone
    Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh, oh
    Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh, oh

    Blush of our bodies in the heat of the night
    All day the day after, reddened the skies
    Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh, oh
    Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh, oh

    When they love you, and they will (and they will)
    Tell 'em all they're loving my shadow
    And if they try to slow you down (slow you down)
    Tell 'em all to go to hell

    When they love you, and they will (and they will)
    Tell 'em all they're loving my shadow
    And if they try to slow you down (slow you down)
    Tell 'em all to go to hell

    It's a lifeless life, with no fixed address to give
    But you're not mine to die for anymore
    So I must live

    Born of a bottle, from heaven's hand
    And now you know and here I am
    Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh, oh
    Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh, oh

    When they love you, and they will (and they will)
    Tell 'em all they're loving my shadow
    And if they try to slow you down (slow you down)
    Tell 'em all to go to hell

    When they love you, and they will (and they will)
    Tell 'em all they're loving my shadow
    And if they try to slow you down (slow you down)
    Tell 'em all to go to hell

    When they love me, and they will (and they will)
    I'll tell 'em all they're loving your shadow
    And if they try to slow me down (slow you down)
    We'll tell 'em all to go to hell

    When they love me, and they will (and they will)
    I'll tell 'em all they're loving your shadow
    And if they try to slow me down (slow you down)
    We'll tell 'em all to go to hell Writer/s: Brian King, David Prowse
