The House Wins - OK Go

Fingers blistered from the nightly scratching at the window

Which won’t open far enough to let air in

The house wins

Oh, the house always wins

Feral cats are screaming at the clouds beneath the window

With the crack so small that nothing gets within

The house wins

Oh, the house always wins

You don’t have to be alone to be lonely

You might as well give in

Telephones are howling at the cats out in the alley

And the window offers nothing in the din

The house wins

Oh, the house always wins

Clouds uncage the car alarms to chase the cats and telephones

Fingers rake and rasp away their skin

The house wins

Oh, the house always wins

You don’t have to be alone to be lonely

You might as well give in

Yeah, you don’t have to be alone to be lonely

You might as well give in

Ice age upon catastrophic ice age of selection

And only one result has trickled in

The house wins

Oh, the house always wins

If evil were a lesser breed than justice after all these years

The righteous would have freed the world of sin

The house wins

Oh, the house always wins

You don’t have to be alone to be lonely

You might as well give in

You don’t have to be alone to be lonely

You might as well give in

(You don’t have to be alone)

You don’t have to be sick to be dying

You might as well give in

(You don’t have to be alone)

You don’t have to have lost to be lost

Oh, give in

You don’t have to be alone to be lonely

You might as well give in
