House Of Glass Lyrics & Chords By Róisín Murphy

We were glasshouse girls
In our plastic wigs and furs
In a crazy house
From within and from without

You could see right through
See the things that people do
There's no place to hide
When you're lit from the inside

Overblown

People like us
From broken homes
Never throw stones
Leave us alone

We were glasshouse girls
Full of joie de vivre and verve
Built a house of glass
Out of fragments from the blast

When it's all revealed
Must be seen to be believed
Little raincoat sister, when allowed to dream
Made a new reality

People who live
In glass houses know

Every glasshouse girl
Keeps a secret from the world
What d'you think you see
A naive transparency?

On a stage of glass
How long can the play last?
You see, every glasshouse child
Has a troubling side

Overblown

Little pieces of a broken dream
Scattered in a million different places

People who live in glasshouses
People who live in glasshouses know

Overblown

What d'you think you see
A naive transparency?
On a stage of glass
How long can the play last?
