Opposite House - Cass McCombs

The ceiling is on the floor

Floor in the refrigerator

What of the door?

It’s there no more

When it rains inside

There is nowhere to hide

Which is why

I’m all sunshine

Ain’t nobody want you

Ain’t nobody want me too

If hell is above you

You’re even lower than I do

Oh why

Oh why

Oh why

Oh why

Why does it rain inside?

Mine is in a busted house

Rain inside when it’s sunny out

Outside in/ Inside out

One step forward two steps back

They say opposites attract

But they haven’t tracked

In my heart shack

The opposite of white

Isn’t white but rainbow blood

This house is too narrow

And made from endangered wood

Oh why

Oh why

Oh why

Oh why

Why does it rain inside?

How do you make a magnet?

You create a potential

Just an old refrigerator magnet

Repelled and pulled

Ooohhhh why so needy?

Tell me why

Living in a golden age

Why do these words sound so strange?

Nothings changed

Inside this cage

From this window I can see

You coming back to me

How can this be?

My windows a dream

Pet snakes in the hall

Pet snakes wall to wall

Coiling where the mice crawl

Winter, spring, summer and fall

Oh why

Oh why

Oh why

Oh why

Why does it rain inside?
