You rolled in on a cold wind I remember that night so well Saw a widow in the window You thought she needed your help Like a wolf in sheep's clothing Just covered her eyes in wool You're not a savior, you didn't save her You just played her like a fool You ain't the king of this castle You ain't the rule of this roost Baby, let me save you the hassle Your feet'll never fit in them boots You're just standing in the shadow There ain't a shadow of doubt Never gonna win this battle You're never gonna wear that crown You're just livin' in a dead man's house Livin' in a dead man's house You're just livin' in a dead man's house Livin' in a dead man's house You can lay there, you can stay there You can keep on trying to pretend It's a joke though, 'cause we both know Who's chair you're rocking in So go on, put a show on If it helps you sleep at night But you can't be that man No matter how hard you try 'Cause You ain't the king of this castle You ain't the rule of this roost Baby, let me save you the hassle Your feet'll never fit in them boots You're just standing in the shadow There ain't a shadow of doubt Never gonna win this battle You're never gonna wear that crown You're just livin' in a dead man's house Livin' in a dead man's house You're just livin' in a dead man's house Livin' in a dead man's house You're just livin' in a dead man's house Livin' in a dead man's house You're just livin', livin' in a dead man's house You ain't the king of this castle You ain't the rule of this roost Baby, let me save you the hassle Your feet'll never fit in them boots You're just standing in the shadow There ain't a shadow of doubt Never gonna win this battle You're never gonna wear that crown You're just livin' in a dead man's house Livin' in a dead man's house You're just livin' in a dead man's house Livin' in a dead man's house
