There is no demo for this song.

Liner Notes

#needscollab thought about taking a chance rolling the dice and this sad guy appeared wrapped in the song... Good Prompt,

Lyrics

You’re the House

V I Just a roll of the dice White rice and tics Bones would suffice Shootin’ craps does the trick

You were Dealin’ from the bottom While I’s starin’ at your top My focused brains? I forgot ‘em No way that you'll stop

PC? IDK? You were the dealer Toss me a win just for fun The house, pining heart stealer But Made sure I’s undone

C You’re the house Me a bad gamblin’ man You’re the house I’m not one long to stand You’re the house House always wins And I go back to the mirror preacher confessing his sins

Bridge I want it bad, Hope you call it I’m going mad Fingers on my wallet See me so sad Like You grin and then stole it No more dough, so it goes, and I’m undone

C You’re the house Me a bad gamblin’ man You’re the house I’m not one long to stand You’re the house House always wins And I go back to the mirror preacher confessing his sins

V II Here on the table, that would be "bad" God your so hot Could be your dad Ohhhh, why that thought Now a wallet so flacid can’t get up with the blues No coin, cash or plastic

C You’re the house Me a bad gamblin’ man You’re the house I’m not one long to stand You’re the house House always wins And I go back to the mirror preacher confessing his sins

Another great lyric to sing along with. So much attitude and self awareness in this character. So glad you’re back.

Nancy… Thanks for stopping by to read and comment on you are the house… There’s something I really like about this lyric… Not sure if it’s the character who realizes his situation but can’t seem to help himself

Do you have time for collaboration?

Such a strong through-vibe of this sad, gambling, down-on-himself, kind of lecherous man. It's easy to hear a bluesy kind of sound and rhythm in the words. Thanks for playing!

This is delightful. I love this:

You were Dealin’ from the bottom While I’s starin’ at your top

And this:

Fingers on my wallet See me so sad

And I'm not a gambler but I've totally been with a hot guy 20 years younger than me lol. So I'm just chuckling to myself. Highly recommend lol.

That's a great piece of lyric. Love the line "And I go back to the mirror preacher confessing his sins", among others. Got a good bit of conflict goin' on in there. Well done. Cheers
