House in the Woods

Lyrics

[Intro] I know a secret, do you? [Verse 1] Left a couple pieces out the puzzle I still got the picture, my nigga You gotta keep a couple puzzle pieces with ya Melting snow swell the river Tippy toe when they come get ya The moon's swole, big and cold Ship her off a sip of white liquor Fresh driven snow, walk the perimeter The sky limitless, I'm at the precipice I was in the balcony at sentencing Them devils asked for everything Your lawyer won the house The rest, the judge settled it Courthouse steps, I'm doing big math with my head Them demons devilish Bitter medicine Sealed evidence Learn to forget, I'm a rogue elephant I'm blank as a baby in town, I'm a pleasant but cagey Nobody presses out here, people mind they business My mind wanders at time I get to thinking how much life I lived while you did it Fell in and out of love Won and lost all ten times over while you sat in that prison [Chorus] House in the woods so when you find me we got privacy Hide-and-seek, hide-and-seek, hide-and-seek, hide-and-seek House in the woods so when you find me we got privacy Hide-and-seek, hide-and-seek, hide-and-seek, hide-and-seek [Verse 2] It's too cold to snow Smoke out the chimney Rolled the bone Lit it off the stove Stood on the porch, eyes half-closed Against the wind The horizon flat, white House in the woods clear cut to the property line Ain't nobody dropping by Private property Beware the dog The driveways' steeper incline At the top, the house a monolith A sniper's perch, a crypt The dog stopped chasing the stick and sniffed the air, whining I'm straining to hear something in the silence No published address but the letters keep arriving Folded neatly in the mailbox or under the door, sliding [Chorus] House in the woods so when you find me we got privacy Hide-and-seek, hide-and-seek, hide-and-seek, hide-and-seek House in the woods so when you find me we got privacy Hide-and-seek, hide-and-seek, hide-and-seek, hide-and-seek House in the woods so when you find me we got privacy Hide-and-seek, hide-and-seek, hide-and-seek, hide-and-seek
