My New Haunt<br>
Gives me everything I want<br>
My New Haunt<br>
Gives me everything I want<br>
And I don't mind, I don't mind, I don't mind<br>
If she turns out to be crazy in time<br>
<br>
Bring me black strap molasses<br>
Light me a burning witch<br>
Bring me my bristle brushes<br>
Bring me my tar and pitch<br>
Bring me my feather pillow<br>
And I'll unpick the stitch<br>
We've lived too well<br>
Too long<br>
So long<br>
So strong<br>
<br>
My New Haunt<br>
Brings me everything I want<br>
And I don't mind, I don't mind, I don't mind<br>
If she turns out to be faithless in time<br>
<br>
My New Haunt<br>
Sometimes disappears<br>
Then comes back in the night<br>
And whispers in my ears<br>
Saying "Don't you know you little fool<br>
You've nothing to fear<br>
I'll tell you everything you want to know<br>
Everything you want to hear"<br>
And I don't mind, I don't mind, I don't mind, I don't mind<br>
<br>
Raise up that flaming torch<br>
Watch as the ships approach<br>
An invitation on her lips<br>
The homeless, tempest-tossed, she grips<br>
<br>
Make her beautiful<br>
Make her dutiful and rich<br>
Sing me a love song<br>
So long<br>
So strong<br>
<br>
My New Haunt<br>
Has just been repossessed<br>
And I don't mind, I don't mind, I don't mind<br>
if I have to guess my next address<br>
<br>
I'm out on the horizon<br>
Just as the sun was rising<br>
First rays bestow a kiss<br>
So you would never guess<br>
I'm sailing off a precipice<br>
Dragons and gold down in the hold<br>
Burning leaves and spices choking back the stench of piss<br>
<br>
My New Haunt<br>
Requires a coat of paint<br>
And I don't mind, I don't mind, I don't mind<br>
If the walls are peeling and the ceiling is revealing the stars out there reeling<br>
<br>
My New Haunt<br>
Sometimes disappears<br>
Comes back in the night<br>
And whispers in my ears<br>
Saying "Don't you know you little fool<br>
You've nothing to fear<br>
I'll tell you everything you want to know<br>
Everything you want to hear"<br>
And I don't mind, I don't mind, I don't mind, I don't mind<br>
<br>
At the end of the working day<br>
He's tired of kneeling, and praying<br>
"As I lay down to die"<br>
I can't remember why<br>
Up on the silent screen<br>
A cowboy ropes a trick<br>
And in the second feature<br>
Some lovely creature saved by a yankee dick<br>
<br>
Make her beautiful<br>
Make her dutiful and rich<br>
Sing me a love song<br>
So long<br>
So strong<br>
<br>
My New Haunt<br>
The shiver of a chill<br>
And I don't mind, I don't mind, I don't mind<br>
<br>
Start making babies<br>
Beat out those bayonets<br>
Stop making bullets<br>
Reverse the planets<br>
Pick all my pockets<br>
Cut off those bracelets<br>
Have you no remorse?<br>
Peel off your corsets<br>
Of course<br>

lyrics for
My New Haunt

My New Haunt
Gives me everything I want
My New Haunt
Gives me everything I want
And I don't mind, I don't mind, I don't mind
If she turns out to be crazy in time

Bring me black strap molasses
Light me a burning witch
Bring me my bristle brushes
Bring me my tar and pitch
Bring me my feather pillow
And I'll unpick the stitch
We've lived too well
Too long
So long
So strong

My New Haunt
Brings me everything I want
And I don't mind, I don't mind, I don't mind
If she turns out to be faithless in time

My New Haunt
Sometimes disappears
Then comes back in the night
And whispers in my ears
Saying "Don't you know you little fool
You've nothing to fear
I'll tell you everything you want to know
Everything you want to hear"
And I don't mind, I don't mind, I don't mind, I don't mind

Raise up that flaming torch
Watch as the ships approach
An invitation on her lips
The homeless, tempest-tossed, she grips

Make her beautiful
Make her dutiful and rich
Sing me a love song
So long
So strong

My New Haunt
Has just been repossessed
And I don't mind, I don't mind, I don't mind
if I have to guess my next address

I'm out on the horizon
Just as the sun was rising
First rays bestow a kiss
So you would never guess
I'm sailing off a precipice
Dragons and gold down in the hold
Burning leaves and spices choking back the stench of piss

My New Haunt
Requires a coat of paint
And I don't mind, I don't mind, I don't mind
If the walls are peeling and the ceiling is revealing the stars out there reeling

My New Haunt
Sometimes disappears
Comes back in the night
And whispers in my ears
Saying "Don't you know you little fool
You've nothing to fear
I'll tell you everything you want to know
Everything you want to hear"
And I don't mind, I don't mind, I don't mind, I don't mind

At the end of the working day
He's tired of kneeling, and praying
"As I lay down to die"
I can't remember why
Up on the silent screen
A cowboy ropes a trick
And in the second feature
Some lovely creature saved by a yankee dick

Make her beautiful
Make her dutiful and rich
Sing me a love song
So long
So strong

My New Haunt
The shiver of a chill
And I don't mind, I don't mind, I don't mind

Start making babies
Beat out those bayonets
Stop making bullets
Reverse the planets
Pick all my pockets
Cut off those bracelets
Have you no remorse?
Peel off your corsets
Of course
