Lyrics for House Of Wolves as interpreted by AbsolutionAgent_gMs

House Of Wolves Lyrics
Well
I know a thing about contrition
Because I got enough to spare
And I'll be grantin' your permission
'Cause you haven't got a prayer
Well I said hey hey, hallelujah
I wanna come on, sing the praise
Let the spirit come on through ya
We got innocence for days

Well I think I'm gonna burn in hell
Everybody burn the house right down

And say, ha, what I wanna say
Tell me I'm an angel
Take this to my grave
Tell me I'm a bad man
Kick me like a stray
Tell me I'm an angel
Take this to my grave

(Say it lover say it) x4

You play ring around the ambulance
Like you never gave a care
So get the choir boys around you
It's a compliment, I swear
And I said, ashes to ashes, we all fall down
I wanna hear you sing the praise
I said, ashes to ashes, we all fall down
We got innocence for days

Well I think I'm gonna burn in hell
Everybody burn the house right down

And say, ha, what I wanna say
Tell me I'm an angel
Take this to my grave
Tell me I'm a bad man
Kick me like a stray
Tell me I'm an angel
Take this to my grave

You better run like the devil
'Cause they're never gonna leave you alone
You better hide up in the alley
'Cause they're never gonna find you a home
And as the blood runs down the walls
You see me creepin' up these halls
I been a bad motherfucker
Tell your sister I'm another
Go! Go! Go!

And I should say, what I wanna say
Tell me I'm an angel
Take this to my grave
Tell me I'm a bad man
Kick me like a stray
Tell me I'm an angel
Take this to my grave

Tell me I'm a bad, bad, bad, bad man
Tell me I'm a bad, bad, bad, bad man
Tell me I'm a bad, bad, bad, bad man
Tell me I'm a bad, bad, bad, bad man
So get up
So get down

Yes I, yes I, yes I am

Aargh! B12- you read my mind! White Stripes, anybody? Especially at the "walk like the devil" bit. I thought that every time I listen to this song, but none of my friends believe me.

you got a couple of the lyrics wrong, its "cuz i've got enough to SPARE" not "SAY". and it's run like the devil, not walk. run like the devil is an old saying!. i guess you have to be from oklahoma to get it. and what happened to the "s-i-n-i-s-i-n" in the middle and end?

and if every one is saying words like fuck and shit in the comments, why cant the true words be in the lyrics??? honestly, at first i thought that they just had a block on them, but now i see that this guy is just too lazy to listen to the hard to understand parts of the song.

Ok. This song is about hell.

Frank had said in an interview that he remembered wacthing cartoons when he was younger...
He remebered an episode when one of the characters was sent to hell.
When he arrived, he was at this club where the band consisted of wolves. Of course.

this song always reminded me of another and i just figured it out... it sounds a lot like Ill-scarlett's "not a prophesy" ...listen to the begining, they're very similar

yes indeed i am mesmerised by his "R" rolling! but i heard a live version where he didn't.so i hope he does in march or i will do it so loud that people hear me not him..look out for the lunatic in plymouth on the 20th..
for some reason i think this song is about the oppressiveness of the church..but really it might just be another quite good catchy song.

Yeah this song is about hell. they say "S-i-n, i s-i-n" and it was written when they were staying at some mansion thing. though im not sure if it was before or after Mikey left. (not left the band, left the mansion)

I love this song!!
but whoever put this song on here has made heaps of mistakes.
Its....
"I know a thing about contrition because i've got enough to spare" not say.
"We got innocence for days" not we got innocence today.
"Kick me like a stray" not kick me like a slave
"Everybody burn the house right down" not everybody burn the outside.
"Well like you never had a care" not like i never gave a care.
"You play ring around the ambulance" not well ring around the ambulance.
"You better run like the devil" not you beter walk like the devil.
"So get the choir boys around you" not I said choir boys surround you.
"You beter hide up in the alley" not you beter hide em in the alley.

I love this sooooon soooo much.

It's kick me like a stray (if anyone's seen a stray animal, they are normally 'kicked' aside, but not violently, like "shoo").
