My friends told me To bring some red wine and a cape I was bound to be left in a disarmful state My lover told me To eat my silver lining from a plate I felt quite alarmed Wasn't I supposed to feel great? My friends warned me I was gonna be out until past eight I felt quite alright as I told my parents not to wait I wasn't built to break, I wasn't built to break I wasn't built to break for this I wasn't built to break, I wasn't built to break I wasn't built to break for this And I am so caught up in this house of mine As I have never learned to disown And I am still asleep, slipping un-, slipping under this house And I am still asleep Slipping un- Slipping un- Slipping un- Slipping un- Slipping under I guess I should have told them That I'm scared to die Sitting around in our chairs is no way to live by I guess I should've informed them That it takes me a while to decide Should I speak of these violets Falling beside me all the time? And I am so caught up in this house of mine As I have never learned to disown And I am still asleep, slipping un-, slipping under this house And I am still asleep Slipping un- Slipping un- Slipping un- Slipping un- Slipping un- Slipping un- Slipping un- Slipping un- Slipping un- Slipping un- Slipping un- Slipping un- Slipping un- Slipping un- Slipping un- Slipping under
