Dropping Houses

Where you headed, baby
Off the wagon, out the door
Don't you see me close as you'll allow
You won't pick up calls from that number anymore
But I'm not dropping houses on you now

So you give it the old heave ho till the bitter end
(Spent so long sucking on a snake bite)
You're giving it all you've got, but you never win
(Trying to keep the venom from entering the bloodstream)
Everybody's laughing as you fall on your face again
(Spent so long sucking on a snake bite)
But you give it the old heave ho till the bitter end
(Trying to keep the venom from entering the bloodstream)

Haven't seen you in so long I wouldn't know your face
I almost could forget the things you said
Tiles in the roadway say you're part of outer space
Laid in bare cement and painted red

Give it the old heave ho till the bitter end
(Spent so long sucking on a snake bite)
You're giving it all you've got, but you never win
(Trying to keep the venom from entering the bloodstream)
Everybody's laughing as you fall on your face again
(Spent so long sucking on a snake bite)
But you give it the old heave ho till the bitter end
(Trying to keep the venom from entering the bloodstream)
