This House Is Condemned - Lyrics by Pulp


Lyrics
He's in a room 
He sees the floor

He sees the wall

He sees the roof

He sees the door
It's nine thirty-eight

So he goes up to the door and he finds himself in another room
identical to the one before

The clock still reads nine thirty-eight
So he goes out of that room, but he finds himself in a parallel room
A mirror image of the one before
He hits the floor
He hits the wall

He hits the door

He hits the door

The clock reads nine thirty-eight

He throws it at the roof

He breaks a hole

He climbs out

He sees the moon

He sees the stars

He sees the sky

The stars are small lightbulbs set in a black cardboard dome

He climbs out

He sees the stars, he sees the sky

The stars are small lightbulbs set in a black cardboard dome

He hits the floor

He hits the wall

He hits the roof

He hits the dome

He hits the dome

Condemned This house This house is
This house is
Is this house
This house

Is this house

Fill in housing form
Buy one clock
Time again
Sort housing papers

Still nine thirty-eight

Two thousand years from now it will still be ticking

He hits the floor

Wall, roof, door

The clock reads nine thirty-eight

He hits the dome

Door, wall

Space, floor

Time

He sees the moon

He sees the stars for some romantic reason

Space, dome, door, wall, clockface

Space, time, place, floor, wall, door, roof

This is one small step for mankind one giant leap for man

Ten Nine Eight Seven Six Five Four Three Two One Zero

We have lift-off

He takes the clock, he breaks the dome, he sees the moon,
he sees the stars

He sees the sky, he sees the Earth for some romantic reason

He takes the clock, he breaks the dome, he sees the moon,
he sees the stars

He sees the sky, he sees the Earth
Space, time, place, condensed

Space, time, place, condemned

This is house is

This house is

This house is condemned

This house is

This house is
This house is condemned.
