lyrics

home is where I want to be
but you won’t get your house for free
these prices are killing me
still we keep visiting properties


we arrived at the address

that obviously was single glass
while we walked on the paved front yard
I noticed a crack in the façade
was it too late to turn around?
so while she rang the bell I said quietly


maybe we should buy
the striptease bar
at least it’s
something we can afford
I’ve seen the
high pressure cleaners are on sale


the broker looked like who you see
on stock photos you get for free
and all the time he talked to me
ignoring her completely
while diverting our views from the defects

as if they were something we couldn’t see


and he gave use good advice
there is no need to bid below the asking price
because, you see,
there is a high demand for this property

maybe we should buy
the striptease bar

at least it’s
something we can afford
I’ve seen the
high pressure cleaners are on sale

we only need to insulate real well

I don’t mean
to lower heating costs
but just to
make sure these walls won’t talk
again

this pretty house is not in our price range
that ugly house is not in our price range

this soothing view is not in our price range

this location is not in our price range
this city is just not in our price range
our parents’ lives are not in our price range
