freezing steel
I've flown the house of freezing, the house of freezing steel And though my body's back I know it can't be real 'Cause I've been on that house without a guiding wheel The house of freezing steel Oh where's it going, picked me up at seven When my eyes were weak from the light of the morning Oh sister won't you tell me what a man might want to know This madness is fine, yes if you're mad at the time Back on the house of freezing, the house of freezing steel The tied my body up, I'm forced to eat my meal A cold plate of lamb and cold potatoes too Now what's a soul to do Oh Lord above, brother won't you tell me Is this a eucharistic dove 'Cause I've been waiting for the right one to appear But I've seen it in your face, and baby this ain't the place Up on the house of freezing, the house of freezing steel. I made my mind up then to get me to the wheel I made the cabin door, the pilot turned around He said we're Venus bound Oh please take me home After all I'm only human and the Earth is where I belong I must have looked pitiful to this freak without a face 'Cause as he touched my head I saw myself back in bed I've flown the house of freezing, the house of freezing steel And though my body's back I know it can't be real 'Cause I've been on that house without a guiding wheel The house of freezing steel.
