Nits - House of the sleeping beauties
When the rain falls on the asphalt pavement
It floats in gutters of the street
Down the drainpipes underneath this house
We are as quiet as a mouse
After the broken arm things went slow
Since that day I took a little took a little
took a little time
I went down into a bottomless hole
Took a shovel and dug a little dug a little dug a little mine
We are creatures of the underworld
Beneath the surface of houses and streets clay and concrete
Shoulder to shoulder we hide in this hole
Light a candle we need a little need a little need a little
flame
House of the sleeping beauties
When the thunder shakes the gutta-percha
The rain falls through the heaven hole
In the drainpipes underneath this house
We are as quiet as a mouse
Through the kerbstones and concrete
We take a breath we need a little need a little
need little air
Between cables and copper-wire
The submarine goes up a little up a little up a little higher
House of the sleeping beauties
I got out through an open door
If there's time I need a little need a little need a little
more
