Sunstroke House Lyrics - Singles - Augie March

O, fraudulent mirror, oh, rank rainbow toad 

I'd break apart too, if I knowed what you knowed 

I'd fall from the wall, I'd leap from the road 

You take cover in the clover, you don't shoulder the load 

Wagner and wife, drama and strife 

Their syphilitic friend Dionysus is wise not to ask 

"Where's Sunstroke House?" 

Where's a crow on the far fence? Where's a mill by the pond? 

Pale with horror, I saw you when your bird flew 

Now who in the whole low world has been kind to you? 

Save for a kindly, ugly few 

Don't read it, don't watch it, don't do what they do 

From the wind in the winter, no mercy, no quarter 

From the summer no mercy, and little goes well 

That's where you'll live, that's where you'll live 

Till a gale rips ya sail, till a will kills ya mill 

Where have you been, my heat, my shadow? 

How well did you like the song? 

I filled it so full of nonsense and unrule 

You feel like there's something forgotten or fell 

Pale with horror I saw you when your bird flew 

Now who in the whole low world has been kind to you? 

Save for a kindly, ugly few 

Don't read it, don't watch it, don't do what they do 

Pink lipped bub, golden haired sitting 

Portraits of withering roots 

Pretty diversions, pointless excursions 

Pleasant distractions, underground mutes
